If any water hits a Drosera leaf, of course it takes all the dew with it on its way down, and it takes a couple of hours (up to a day) for the leaves that were hit to be full of dew again. The PPM of the water you give them in itself doesn't matter, it's the buildup of minerals over time to a level high enough to bother the plants that's problematic. If you water your plants with 200 PPM, they will be in trouble twenty times faster than if you watered with 10 PPM. If you water them with 200 PPM once, nothing will happen. If a single drop of 200 PPM gets to them, there is definitely nothing going to happen. All under the assumption you aren't watering your plants with bleach, of course.
Hahaha the water is not dropped on the leaf, the water was leaking out of the orchid pot and seeped into the soil!! This was before I had a water tray. I moved my orchid too because [confession]I don't have enough water trays, just 1 exclusive one for my VFT, 1 big one for my 2 drosera, and 1 deep one for my utric to float in, and that leaves 1 seed pot.[/confession]
I dunno, in my experience if high-PPM normal water touches my sundew's media, ALL the dew on the leaves go away and the tentacles wrinkle and I have to wait for new leaves to dew. Once there are new leaves I feed them and everything springs back in from.
