For my sundews, I've got a dish of apple and pear peelings where fruit flies breed. In a few days, there will be many fruit flies just the right size for the sundews. They are also good for butterworts.

if I have a humidifier, do I need to use distilled water or can I use regular tap water to fill it?

Can they get root rot if left in water all the time? My Venus fly trap I was told to add water to the tray and let the water completely deplete before adding new water or else it'll get root rot. I've been successfully doing that for 2+ years. Is the sun dew the same or should it always be watered?

can I grow sundews outside in the sun like Venus flytraps and Sarracenia pitchers?

What a great video thank you. How would you recommend to repot a sundew if you can't buy peat?

My Drosera slackii Sundew looks all dead from the winter in the UK. Is this normal? I noticed it normally comes back with time. But it does not do as well as i frist got the plant.

I really like your videos! I hope you do other carnivorous plants as I'm hoping to start collecting more. I recently learned that Venus Fly Traps are considered "vulnerable" and may become endangered soon. Do you have any advice for conservation? All I find is to make sure that you're not buying poached Fly Traps.

Hi there! Great videos, I have a Drosera Scorpioides, and I would like to know how deep the pot should be for this plant please, as it came bare root. I also have Drosera spatulata and would like to know the size for this plant too please.

[anischenck]

How often should I put clean water in the bowl?

[poltergeistlange]

can they be planted in a wet cotton as replacement for the moss? can they be planted in a soil? if so, what kind of soil?

[ImDeskin_NotYou]

Is Drosera Binata easy to grow? Can you give me some tips for that species as well? Also a small Drosera Rotundifolia

[jamiedruby]

Please tell me how long will Omissa pulchella live in captivity?

[ClausCarnivores]

very nice video, I have a lot of sundews, as they are my favourite carnivores...I like to feed them with fish food or flies (you can make some nice timelapse videos then, too :-)
