Planting & Sowing Instructions:
-
Preparation: Choose a planting spot that receives plenty of sunlight. Sundew plants thrive in a humid environment, so it's essential to mimic their natural habitat. A terrarium or greenhouse can work well if outdoor conditions are not ideal.
-
Soil Requirements: Sundews prefer acidic, well-drained, and moist soil. A mix of sphagnum moss and perlite or sand will provide the best growing medium. Avoid using fertilizers, as sundews naturally obtain nutrients from insects.
-
Planting: Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil. Do not cover the seeds, as they need light for germination. Lightly press the seeds into the soil to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
-
Watering: Use distilled or rainwater, as tap water may contain minerals harmful to the plant. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
-
Germination: Place the seed tray or pot in a warm, humid environment with temperatures around 70°F (21°C). Seeds should germinate in 2-4 weeks. Keep the environment moist to encourage growth.
-
Transplanting: Once the seedlings have grown strong enough to handle, they can be transplanted into larger containers or directly into the garden.
Care Tips:
-
Regularly mist the plant to maintain humidity.

Avoid disturbing the plant’s delicate leaves and dew.

Protect the plant from extreme temperatures and frost.
