I've been putting my sundews outside for better light the last few days because the curl back do to insufficient lighting, was wondering how long will it take for them to get back to normal???

Hi Amanda,

There's no need to keep starting a new thread - just add your new question to the already started thread that is on the same subject (saving your sundew).

I'm not sure what you mean by curled leaves. Maybe add a photo? Usually, new leaves will develop properly when a problem is solved. Its too late for already formed leaves. They are what they are.

Sorry, I forgot I already started one about the same question.... Is there a way to delete them?? I bought them like this.... When I was reading up on them I found out one of the reasons for curling back is lack of light. I was just hoping I can correct them but wondering how long it could take to see improvement...

Hi Amanda,

I think the biggest indicator of suffient light is coloration and dew. The plant should be bright red and those tenacles should be covered with droplets.

I would say you are doing okay then. Keep their toes in water though.
