Dewy Pine Base Burn: Don't Cut Back, Acclimate Slowly

Stake and Wait

Don't cut back burned Drosophyllum—they don't respond like sundews. Photo shows minimal burn; likely just needed acclimation. Keep soil damp, start with morning sun/shade after 1 PM, then full sun after a week. If leaning, stake it. Under bright artificial light until larger. Recovery is quick or it dies—no lingering. Feed if dewy returns.
