Hi everyone! Writing from Lima Peru. I have two droseras, but their tips are growing black and no dew on its leaves. Please help me so that it won't die.
The temperature here in Lima is around 12 - 16°C humidity over 90% every day cold winds and some rain. My plants are indoors because there is no sunlight this time of year here so they get fluorescent light for some hours before I go to bed. Haha!!! Wintery grey skies now here in Peru.

The plant doesn’t look horrible actually but I would give it light for at least 12 hours a day. 90% humidity is plenty. The lights should also help keep it a little warmer, though 16C at night isn’t too bad. The dying leaves are old back leaves as far as I can see; it’s normal for old ones to die off.

You need to give it more hours of light, and probably buy a stronger bulb. That new growth is completely colorless which is not a good sign.

I actually should have asked, what kind of fluorescent bulb are you using, and how far away do you keep the plant?
