How to fertilize Drosera Rotundifolia
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Drosera Rotundifolia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

When will my little sundew have… dew? Hi! I got On Nom Nom a few weeks ago to help with the never ending #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

Help with my #Sundew Hey all of my #evilgenius lovers of #CarnivorousPlants … I need help. I got this little sundew about three months ago, I’ve had really great luck with Venus fly traps, and it seems like the care was the same. So I made them a little bog habitat in an open terrarium with distilled water. He was blooming like crazy so in an effort to stop the energy going to the flowers, I cut the blooms stems off. But now it is slowly, looking like it is rotting, and I still don’t see any of the reddish drops of dew. Can you tell me what you think I should do differently? under a grow light, only distilled water. Have not reported (got him from #etsy #TheGreenEscape which is a shop I adore).

I don’t know what to do with Coco. I’ve never had a plant like this ever. Is it okay to have her under a grow light? I’ve read some post on here that you have to feed it … eeewww.. not sure about that part. If I don’t feed it will it die??? 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ #SpoonLeavedSundew
