Sundew Seeds - Drosera Carnivorous Plant

Sundews use sticky, dew-covered tentacles that slowly curl around insects, while Venus flytraps snap shut quickly. They're different genera with distinct trapping mechanism

? Sundews are adapted to nutrient-poor bogs and are sensitive to the minerals and salts found in tap water, which can build up and damage their roots over time.

Yes, sundews aren't dangerous to touch; their sticky traps are harmless to people and pets and only affect small insects.

Some species die back or slow growth noticeably in cooler months, so reduced growth over winter is normal rather than a sign of a dying plant.

Indoor sundews may catch fewer insects naturally than outdoor plants, so occasionally offering a small insect can help supplement its diet, though it's not strictly required.

Digestion typically takes several days to about a week, after which the leaf reopens and is ready to catch its next meal.
