I recently got a Drosera Adelae from a sellers who grew his sundews under indoor grow lights. I do not own grow lights so I decided to acclimate my D. Adelae to having direct sunlight indoors. It currently sits by an Eastern facing window, having around 3-4 hours of direct sunlight and around 6-8 hours of indirect bright sunlight. I decided to do this as my country's heat averages 34 degrees Celsius in the morning, and much hotter in the afternoon. I figured my sundews turn crisp if I initially placed them outside for more light. After 5 days, I noticed one of its tentacles turning green. I have seen other sellers who sell their Adelaes green so I am unsure if it's unhealthy or dying. But this is all new to me so I was hoping I could get some advice.
Other facts:
- The plant was unsurprisingly tired after a 2-day journey to my house and has lost some dew from the transport
- Temperature indoors is around 28 degrees Celsius
- It has been raining today so there is not much light
- Humidity in my area ranges from 70%-80%, although I have placed a humidifier beside my droseras just to help with the acclimatization
- Is planted on LFS and is sitting on around 2cm high distilled water
- The D. Spatulata, D. Burmannii, and D. Capillaris I got were not as affected with the changes (or at least not reducing as much dew etc.)
