Sundews are easy. Buy a d. Adelae and/or d. Capensis. They grow great in a window. Make sure to ONLY use distilled or rain water. Keep the pot in a water tray with about an inch of water in it. NO FERTILIZER.

Nope I don't grow them at all,, Just the pitcher plant!! Glad to hear yours is doing well,, They can tolerate 50 at night,, once it gets outside you'll see a big difference,, Just be sure to either put in shade or lightly dappled sun,, No directs sun,, thumbup

Hello there friend I got the pitcher plant outside now and it has 7 pitchers on it so it is doing so well and I'm so happy and each time I see and care for it think of you the one you gave me just a large start and always will be grateful and also the one who gave me the very first one of the little people plant hanger it looks so good in the garden too! How is your garden doing? Bye for now Rita
