When will my little sundew have… dew?

Hi! I got On Nom Nom a few weeks ago to help with the never ending fungusgnats">#fungusgnats issue. He’s in a mini big with distilled water (he was dry when I received him but that was three weeks ago). #Sundew
I don’t know how long it takes to grow their little red dew drops. Any help? @PoisonIvys #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub
3ft to light, indirect
2” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 years ago

They need humidity. Leave it in a tray of distilled water and that should help. Which you have already done it appears. So all you have to do is wait usually and it won’t take too long.
woww so bushy and i love the tall swirly at the top hehe. i hope you get your answer soon !❀️
You have a different sundew than mine but care should be the same.
I want to get a different type like the one you got next

@SirLiquorice yep already have done that since day one.
I haven’t had sundews, but as I understand it, they’re bog plants like my pings. I have had the best success with them with a lot higher water level in the tray they sit it. My ping is pretty much sitting in water up to the top of the soil, and that has kept him happy and sticky. You might check to see if sundews like that amount of water, too.
@SirLiquorice does 3-4 weeks sound like too long? I’m sure everything is fine or it would be dead πŸ€ͺ but I’m still paranoid!
@SirLiquorice I love all of the different kinds too! I want to wait a bit longer to be sure I know what I’m doing, but then let the collecting begin!
Wow what a gorgeous plant!! πŸ’šπŸŒΏ
Sundews and maybe a ping are wishlist plants.
I want to get one or two but read they don't ship well. Any advice where I can purchase these online? I can't get to a nursery, no car 😰
@Sassylimey I had great luck with The Green Escape on Etsy!!!! My little baby wasn’t even dried out all the way.
Thank you so much Sarah πŸ₯°
@Sassylimey they have lots of different #CarnivorousPlants too, I want the other sundew and a pitcher plant next 😍
