I've got a bunch of Drosera seedings (mostly capensis) of various ages growing happily in 100% humdity. Is there a rule-of-thumb as to how old and/or large they should be before I start reducing the humidity for their eventual graduation to my normal conditions? Thanks.

1/4 inch to 1/2 inch tall is a nice conservative size to acclimate them.

The important thing is to watch the plant.
It will tell you if it's happy or if you're rushing it.
A lot depends on the humidity of your growing area.
The dew drop size may decrease, that's no big deal.
Just look out for total plant collapse.

Good growing,
Mike
