FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi I have a king sundew which I’ve had since September. I just got a new light (led T5 active grow light) and have had my plant under it for about a month now. A weeks ago I noticed the new leafs are not growing as big as the others where when I had it in my window. The leafs are getting shorter and skinnier.
My sundew is loaded with baby mealworm every time a new leaf is fully grown and dewed. So food is not the problem.
I water it about once a week or when ever the soil starts to get dry but I don’t over water it.
I have it under the light for about 14 to 15 hours a day. And it’s about 15 to 17 inches above the tallest leaf.
I also have 3 baby’s in another pot doing the same thing.

I'm no expert, but the shock from a new light is most likely the issue. If those leaves are the first few after being put under the light then I am confident in saying it's the light.

Ok thanks. Hope everything goes back to normal soon.
