Hi everybody,
I was wondering if anyone has dealt with burnt flower stalks on their sundews when grown in a terrarium. I have the plants about 2-3 inches away from a glass cover on top of which 23 watt CF lights sit. The flower stalks are obviously much taller and are getting too close to the light that they get burnt from the heat. What do you guys do?
Should I just move the plants further away from the lights, but risk loss of coloring? This might prove useless anyway since the stalks can get to 8 inches tall easily and still reach the glass cover top.
Actually, I'm trying to eventually grow them coverless on a windowsill so I wouldn't have to worry about terrarium limitations, but the one spatulata so far that I have on the windowsill isn't as dewy as its terrarium counterparts.
Thanks.
Johnny
