Oh I love him, how pretty! ☺️
Sundews are really beautiful plants (I’m guessing that’s a sundew or a relative anyway). Pitchers are my favorite when it comes to carnivorous plants, but it’s a close second.
Don’t “feed” it I have basically killed almost every carnivorous plant I have ever had by giving it’s bugs.
Don’t over water and keep it like any other plant, the act of capturing a bug is a high energy process.
They can survive without feeding?
Im hoping with it being above the kitchen sink and a few feet from the kitchen compost bins that it’ll catch the few fruit flies we get. Can they be overwatered? I was told to keep it in a tray of distilled water or rainwater.
They are delicate, so yes watering from the bottom encourages root growth & helps prevent mold. Change the water out every when possible so it doesn’t become to stangent.
What is it and what does it do?
Looks like a Drosera Capensis! The fuzzy ends are sticky and trap the bugs and curls around them.
I just looked up the type from the photo I snapped of the care instructions and you’re right! He had it listed as Cape Sundew :)
