Sundew Recovery after shipping

I got a spatulata and a capensis variety last week, and they're still green but they have yet to set any dew. They were bare root so I had to pot them up on arrival. I was wondering if anyone else had any type of waiting period for sundews that they follow? I am just wondering how long I should wait before I start treating it as a symptom of an issue with the environment.

I bag or dome my new arrivals for 2 - 4 weeks after potting-up.
This gives them time to settle in and reduces transpiration moisture losses.
I usually see dew in a week or two.
