    Default Sundew

    I bought this sundew to help control fungus knats. If you look at the bottom of the plant you will see it took some time figuring out how to keep it happy. I had it in a glass dish that was too small and too open at the top. It got really desicated and I almost lost the plant. After I covered the top of the dish with a piece of plastic wrap it started recovering. Finally I found a nice container that was large enough. Once I put it in there it started putting out new growths like crazy and then a FLOWER!!!

    If you look really carefully you will also see that it has trapped a couple of knats on its leaves.

    Oh, when I repotted it I found three little seedlings at the base that I put in the smaller container. Also when I took the picture I noticed two additional seedlings growing with the older plant!
