Hi everyone,
I recently acquired this sundew, which I believe is drosera adelae. It was looking ok the first day I got it, but since it has declined a bit. The dew was lost (which I guess is normal stress from moving it from its original location into my house.) But along with that some of the new leaf tips have turned brown, and the old leaves have become limp. It hasn't gotten any worse for about a week or two, so I'm hoping it can recover from this point.
It is planted in premier peat moss and perlite (50/50 mix), & watered with distilled water. Its in a big east facing window all day, not sure if this is enough light, but it's the sunniest location in my house.
I just wanted to know if it looks like it can recover, and if this is just transplantation stress or something else.
