Lack of sufficient light is usually the problem.

There will be an acclimation period. Won't take long for them to perk up and be happy. Decent light will defiantly help speed up the process.

Didn't you get them like... a few days ago? Dude! It will probably be WEEKS before it starts making any new traps that won't die off and more than a month until it's fully acclimated. YOU. NEED. TO. WAIT. simple as that really.

Woah, relax, lol. D. capensis doesn't take weeks to readjust (unless they got shipped to the moon and back by Ace Ventura). Give it a few days and then give some more light if it still hasn't formed then add some more light.

Yeah, D. capensis... and he got them the same evening that he posted this. I agree with the few days thing... They'll come around pretty quickly

how often should i change the water in the tray that i put the plant in

Instead of double posting, you should go back and edit your first post.

You can just refill it every time when it has evaporated, or you can change it whenever you think it looks nasty. FYI, a brown color is just tannins in the water and it doesn't mean the water needs changing.

Capensis ? Mine got shipped from hawaii,to oregon !!!
I was dewy in a week I think I have killed rosseted drosera
due to aclimation I think they are more subseteble to shock.
I have had some drosera in my bog garden take a month to start
growing if they get a hard shipment.
