Hey everyone! Thanks for helping me out!
I have upgraded my amount of light and made sure the light was really close to my drosera with a slanted angle on the fixture to allow for taller growing plants and flowers on one side. For about four weeks now I have had this setup and been adding plants to my trays as I buy them online:
My setup
As you can read on my hygrometer, just above the tray the Humidity levels are hanging around 31% and the TEMPS are 81 High with a nightly low around 66 degrees
Check out the images below and let me know what you think.
Are the conditions just too bright and the plants getting a little burned but will acclimate? I do have some leaves uncurling on the D. aliciae that has been affected the longest and so maybe things may be fine. (Recently fed there are several leaves furled right now) Or is this actually Humic Acid buildup from using the tray method and keeping the conditions constantly soggy? I have tried cleaning off the potential humic acid buildup with a q-tip but the leaves are stiff and the brown is dry or just doesn't come off. So I think burned a little. I should note that the plant affected for the LEAST amount of time arrived yesterday and is already showing signs of browning so I think it IS burning. One day is too short for humic acid buildup right?
What do you think?
The plants affected full plant and a close up. The pictures are ordered based on affected plant introduced to the lights the longest to most recent. The recent D. venusta has been under the lights for only 1 day.
