🌿 Surprise Repotting Day! 🌿

I decided to repot my sundew today, expecting to work with a single plant… but guess what? There were eight thriving little Drosera hidden in the soil! 😲✨

Nature never ceases to amaze me—what started as one has multiplied into a whole community of carnivorous beauties. Time to give them the best care possible and watch them grow even stronger!

The separation went well, and luckily, the roots weren’t too tangled

Sundews (Drosera) are carnivorous plants that trap insects using sticky, glistening tentacles on their leaves. When an insect gets caught, the plant slowly curls around it and digests it for nutrients. They grow in poor soil and rely on their carnivorous nature to survive.

You might also like Nepenthes! The main part of my collection consists of them. For most carnivorous plants, the most important things are the right soil and watering with demineralized water.
