I just acquired this Drosera Binata one week ago and he’s yet to produce any dew and I had to snip off a couple of browning leaves. Any tips to help him get his dew back? He’s currently growing under my Yescom 225 grow light, about 6 inches beneath it. And he’s sitting in a tray of distilled water. Soil is nice and moist. I’m assuming he just needs a little more time to get acclimated to his new home?

You're correct, just give it time, dews look ratty while acclimating to a new home.
However, I'm not an artificial light guy, but the light might be a bit close. Maybe someone with more experience with grow lights will chime in and confirm or tell me to shut it.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

Thank you! And you might be right about the light, I did move it to a lower shelf. Hopefully that will calm him down.
