So I went on a trip from Thursday night to around the same time today so about 3 days. I made sure my plants had extra water in the trays and a large plastic bag around all of them to keep them from drying out.
I was expecting them to respond to the sudden change but not in the way they did.
My sundews have 10x more dew.
3 or more new growth points from every sarracenia including ones I have had for about 2 months in which I have not seen any growth.
New growth on heliamphora..
New growth on cephalotus..
Strikes on my drosera cutting..
And new growth on my darlingtonia which I have had since early December with no growth until now.
So obviously this change went in the exact opposite direction than what I expected but.. One more change is a large influx of algae or maybe something else, can you tell me what this is? And should I keep my makeshift green house the way I left it for the weekend?( there is still water in the trays, not sure if that's good or bad I had about 5-6 plants per tray).. If I do continue this should I use less water, my results were astounding and I want the growth to continue. Here's some pictures of the algae( at least I think it's algae ) and the new growth.
