The sundew plant (Drosera plant) is one of the most diverse of all carnivorous plants. These deadly plants get their name from the sticky drops on their leaves that resemble sun dew. These dew drops snare flies, gnats, and moths, and then the leaves slowly fold in upon the prey in order to digest it.
Plant Care
- Light: Lots of sun. Bright light or full sun.
- Water: Keep soil moist, never allow to fully dry out. Do not use tap water.
- Additionally: Plants get all their nutrients from the insects. Do not fertilize.
