Hey all,
I don't know what's going on with my sundews, but they have been severely declining in health the past few months. I decided to get them out of the LFSM they were planted in originally a year ago and refresh them with new peat moss two weeks ago, and after doing this they're just rapidly declining like crazy. They were all green and now some of them are turning completely brown which doesn't look good. When I took them out of their original LFSM I made sure not to break any of the roots, and all of them had super long, healthy root systems.
I provide them 14 hours of light under a Yescom 225, it's around 68 degrees in my house with 45% humidity. Distilled water and rainwater only bottom watering. Peat moss/perlite mix is what I use with my other sundews and VFTs with no issue.
I'm going crazy, they were just perfectly fine a year ago and now they've just decided to start dying off for no reason. I haven't had any issues with my other sundews and I have no idea why these young ones have just suddenly nosedived after a while.
In the pictures below, the one in the center was literally green last night, and today it's brown!
