How to fertilize Drosera macrantha

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 macrantha after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I’ve had Audrey (Spoon leaf sundew) for a few months now and she is thriving!! I just couldn’t resist buying this one! Just wanted to share my babies with you all. 🥰 #HappyPlants #Sundew #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy

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

New Growth on Forked Sundew Question for my other Sundew owners! I got this guy about a month ago and he’s been sitting in a south-facing windowsill with his pot in distilled water. A little over a week ago he started putting out new growth, but it is significantly longer than the rest of the plant. They are growing rapidly but haven’t shown any signs of “forking” like the older growth. At this point, they’re just kind of getting so long that they flop over. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal when they have a sudden growth spurt? # #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub

Is my sundew dead or just hibernating? There's some green at the top, but most of the plant is brown.

Zinas First Victims 😈 I’m so happy to announce my Sundews first bugs capture and kill 🥰 I’m so proud 🥹 TAKE THAT GNATS !! #CarnivorousPlants #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants

Carnivorous care experts!! I just purchased my first carnivorous plant! Super excited but very nervous. I was hoping for literally any advice/ tips on care for her. Is a humidifier necessary or is keeping her soil moist enough for her to do well #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub

Why isn’t my sundew producing nectar anymore? She lives under a grow light in a terrarium with moss. She used to be super sticky (so much so that I was worried about the amount of bugs she was catching), but recently she’s not producing any!! For the last 2 weeks I’ve tried to mist the terrarium and keep the lid shut a lot longer (for humidity), but it doesn’t seem to be helping. Any ideas? #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub #cpclubthursday #Sundew #PlantAddict

My sundew caught its first little fungus gnat! Couldn't be prouder if my 1 year old toddler started walking (she hasn't yet 😅) #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub #Sundew
