The media is about a year old, I repotted them last year out of LFSM. It was so weird, I got them in the mail, they were growing up nice and fine, then suddenly declined like crazy and turned into a stump. I repotted them out of the LFSM in case it had a build up of something into fresh peat moss/perlite, no fertilizers, and it still looks like this.
Should I repot them again? At this point I'm just so confused as to why my cape sundews just do so poorly.
The spatulata nearby are completely fine and are thriving and flowering like mad, but the cape sundews grow like crazy then suddenly rapidly decline.

I had them about a foot under Yescom225s, and I think that was too strong for them? I have another Cape Sundew that turned into a stump looking just like this one, but then grew back into 3 plants, but then started to look bad again. I moved it under a much weaker growlight, and it looks normal again, so I'm wondering is the Yescom225s are just too powerful for cape sundews?
