How to fertilize English Sundew
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 English Sundew after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Any helpful advice? ❤️ This is my drosera paradoxa. I am hoping the green that is left is a sign of life? I cut of all the rest as they looked very poorly or even dead. We are now in mid autumn here in the uk so looking to keep her as healthy as possible over winter etc, if she can make it 🤞🏼 Any helpful thoughts welcome. TIA 🪴💚 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #cpclubthursday #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub

Hello all! I thought you'd get a kick out of my new mini bog set up. I got this started about 3 weeks ago. I bought all the plants I wanted first (a sundew, 2 purple pitchers, a club moss (still not positive on that ID), and a Venus fly trap) and let them get acclimated to their new space while I waited for my greenhouse to get the pot I requested in. Once the pot arrived and my plants weren't showing any signs of distress, I planted them in this (pictured below) substrate in my awesome new pot! This pot is glazed clay on the outside, so it holds water in the main base, then has a terracotta planter inside that sits in the water and allows the substrate to get moist without overwatering to perfectly replicate how they'd grow in the wild! I have them placed 2ft under a humidifier as well and so far everything is happy as can be! I also have a super special plant you guys will absolutely love, but I haven't finished her set up yet! #cpclubthursday #carnivorousclub #carnivorousplants
