Cheng's 3-week-old D. adelae in 2" pot with sphagnum moss loses dew, has deformed leaf. Christopher: repot to larger pot with 50/50 unfertilized perlite/peat (order from cobraplant.com). AC dries air—use plastic bag with increasing holes over 2-3 weeks for humidity adaptation. Increase light: 4+ hours morning sun + strong indirect light, or 100-150W equivalent fluorescent 1ft away (12h winter, 16h growing season). Good light increases dew and improves leaf color/form.
