Drosera burmannii, spatulata, capensis; 3 sundews; live carnivorous plants

Description: What you see in the pictures is what you get (WYSIWYG).Three beginner friendly sundews. Capensis and Spatulata are subtropical perennials that can love for many years, burmannii is an annual that may produce seed during the winter time and die completely, thus seed must be sown to continue growing it in cultivation.Automatically ships potted for $10.50 USPS Priority shipping.Or optionally you can request another shipping service and/or carrier, for additional cost. Subtropical sundew care:Water & Humidity: Only use mineral free water such as distilled, reverse osmosis, or rainwater. In summer, I recommend placing the pots in a tray of standing water approx. 1”-2”. During winter, I keep their soil moist to damp, without standing water in their tray.Potting medium: Only use mineral free medium such as peat moss, long fibered sphagnum moss, perlite, sand.A common mix consists of 1:1 peat:perlite &/or sand, or pure long fibered sphagnum moss.Light: Sundews prefer 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily; this ensures the production of their tentacle dew (mucilage) and bright colored leaves.Temperature & Dormancy: They grow best with moderate temperatures of 50°F to 80°F but may handle temperatures down to 20°F and up to 100°F for short periods. Subtropical sundews will die down to the roots with consistent temperatures below 40°F and/or with shorter daylight hours. If their roots are kept consistently moist and not allowed to dry, they will regrow once it warms back up and daylight lengthens in the spring.Fertilization: This is not recommended for beginners as sundew roots are highly sensitive to minerals. They naturally catch insects outdoors, but if grown indoors they may be fed fish food flakes or bloodworms once a month, or Maxsea at a rate of ¼ tablespoon/gallon.
