About Drosera (Sundews)
Drosera are one of the most diverse and fascinating groups of carnivorous plants, known for their glistening, sticky “dew” that traps insects. Many species are easy to grow and thrive indoors or outdoors with proper care. 🌿✨

Note: This is a general care guide. Some species have specific requirements—please refer to the individual product page for detailed instructions.

---

Lighting
Provide bright light to full sun for best growth and dew production.

• Full sun outdoors or a bright sunny window
• Indoors, use full spectrum lights (some plants need indirect or soft light, see individual page product for more info)
• Provide 9–16 hours of light, depending on the species

Strong lighting encourages vibrant color and heavy dew formation.

---

Soil / Media
Use a nutrient-poor, well-draining mix:

• Peat moss and perlite
• Peat and sand mix
• Or long-fiber sphagnum moss

Avoid any soil with fertilizers or added minerals, as these can harm the plant.

---

Watering
Drosera prefer consistently wet conditions.

• Keep plants sitting in a tray with at least 1 inch of water
• Use only low-mineral water (rain, distilled, or reverse osmosis)
• Never allow the soil to dry out

---

Humidity
Thrives in 50–90% humidity, though many species adapt well to typical indoor conditions.

---

Temperature
Most Drosera grow well between 55–90°F, though exact preferences vary by species.

---

Feeding
Feed every 2–3 weeks with:

• Small insects
• Dried bloodworms
• Finely crushed fish food

Fertilizer is not required and should only be used by experienced growers.

---

Dormancy
Dormancy requirements vary by species.

• Some species grow year-round
• Others require a cool winter dormancy

👉 Always refer to the individual product page for species-specific care.
