How to fertilize Drosera Filiformis

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Drosera Filiformis after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What are the long tendrils on my sundew? #SpoonLeavedSundew

Is this fine in a dish with fly traps and pitcher plants? I don’t have drainage holes in the bowl. Not sure if I should add some or not. I kind of like how I can fill it in the center and let the outskirts soak it up and bog it out. #sundews #VenusFlyTrap #PitcherPlant #Sundew

Happy #cpclubthursday everyone!!! My collection is ever-growing. The wide variety of carnivorous plants in the world fascinates me, and I'm on a mission to understand and care for most of the varieties available on the plant market. So far I have MANY #flytraps, two varieties of #sundew, one type of #sarracenia, a small #nepenthes pitcher plant, and finally, a #pinguicula !! I know I am missing a #cephalotus as they are very hard to find. I adore the various methods these predatory plants have developed to catch their prey. Sticky traps and surfaces, nectar, slippery tubes with a hungry belly at the bottom, traps with teeth that close fast enough to catch their victim, and little jars that lure insects to their dooms. What other plants are so dynamic? What other plants can we personify so much that we made a movie (a musical, no less!) about how bloodthirsty they are? They have captivated our imagination ever since the first explorers found them in the wild, and they still do today. #carnivorousplants #carnivorousclub #venusflytrap #happyplants #plantaddict #plantcollector #planttherapy #theamigos #plantmafia #plantsmakepeoplehappy #threadleavedsundew #pinguiculasethos #nepenthesmonkeyjars

Sundew Blooms and Propagation from Seeds My thread-leaved Sundew, Frazzle, is blooming tiny little pink flowers! I really would like to collect seeds from her, and I did do some research online, but I want to know what y'all's experiences have been. I did see some small bees on the flowers a few times and I'm hoping it's getting pollinated. Are they self pollinating? I only have one sundew in bloom. I read that I should wait until the pods are 70% dried before harvesting them. When should I plant seeds if I do get some, and in what kind of substrate? Thanks for any info and as always I would love to see YOUR sundews in bloom!! #sundew #threadleavedsundew #carnivorousplants #carnivorousclub #cpclubthursday #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #blooming #blooms #seeds #propagation #theamigos #jesssjungle #outdoorgrowing

How much is too much? Put my Sundew outside for sunbathing and they managed to trap lots of flies (my backyard have so many flies and fruit flies, this is why i try to get more carnivorous plants to reduce their number) Hopefully they gonna be ok #carnivorousplants #drosera #droseraadelae
