Hey all,
My sundew related questions keep on coming.

I grew this Drosera x Dork's Pink a few months back from gemmae sent to me in the mail from someone, and most of them died except for this one which is finally turned into a cute little sundew.

However, it used to produce a ton of dew and now it no longer makes any.

Only difference I can think I made in changes was moving the yescom225 growlights closer to it, since I was growing VFTs in the same rack.

Anything I can do about this?

Conditions are under Yescom225s for 14 hours, 50/50 peat moss perlite mix, 70-75F, 50% humidity indoors.

Do they go dormant even if I have them inside under growlights? The room it's in is close to a window and will probably start going into the 65 degree range. Should I decrease the photoperiod on the Yescoms to induce dormancy, or is it just a temperature related thing?

I'm not am expert on pygmies, but mine typically began to enter dormancy about this time. The two I have right now seem to still be going strong. However, other growers I know have had theirs go dormant in late spring for only a couple of weeks, then produce gemmae all summer.
Temp and light are the major factors, but they will still dance to their own tune.
