Hi guys, It's been over a week since I've had my flytraps now. I'm noticing my red green and sharktooth are looking a bit dry/wrinkly. temps are not higher than 27C and they've been getting 16 hours of lights(LED)/direct sunlight a day. The medium is wet not soaking so I don't think I over watered them. Both the red green and shark tooth have been fed. Does anyone have any idea why they are drying up? I think it is too early for dormancy.

dragons are red, scams are blue, but green is true!

I was thinking it might be shock since this was my first time transplanting vfts, and I was having a hard time with the roots. I don't think it's the weather as temps don't exceed 27 here and it is getting colder now too. Do you think the led light has something to do with it? I placed the panel 30 cms above the containers. Did you end up finding the red/blue led bulbs?
