Anyone else have slackii's that just don't seem to make much dew? Mine are growing in the same terrarium that my South American and other South African sundews thrive in, and they steadily put out leaves, but they seem to have very little dew (though I noticed that slackii's in general don't seem to make much).

Oh, and on a side-note, my D. schizandra, after making its biggest leaf yet, shot out a second much smaller leaf in just a week or so. Weird.

What other sundews have been troubling you guys?

I find they like cooler temperature and good humidity

They are in temps of around 60-63 at night and 72-75 during the day. Humidity is always around 85%. Mine are also a lot more red than yours, I don't know if there are different varieties and if that makes a difference.

Maybe you're giving them too much light and the dew is evaporating too fast

Perhaps, although I do enjoy the redder color. I will have to experiment and put them in different areas in my HL tank.
