Sundew: The Sticky Plant With A Killer Instinct

With sweet nectar and sticky traps, the sundew is the ultimate plant predator | Natural Born Killers

Are you worried about your sundew plant losing its dew? No need to worry, I've got some great tips and tricks for you on how to increase dew! And don't forget, during winter time when the days are shorter, it's common for plants to slow down their growth or for Drosera, to require more light to create dew.

The Cape Sundew (Drosera capensis) catches gnats, fruit flies and the occasional housefly in its sticky dew. It will slowly curl around larger prey to make greater contact of the leaf for digestion. 🌱 Cape Sundews make great houseplants; happily growing on sunny windowsills or under growlights. They like lots of direct sunlight and to be sitting in a deep saucer of distilled or rain water all the time.
