What is your lights ?

I have 2 6500K fluorescent lights, and one 3100K fluorescent light. why do you ask? am I doing something wrong?

Most likely not. Seedlings look happy for now and will grow rapidly when they get the chance to finally eat some insect meat. Keep up the good work.

Nope. I was curios, as i thought was in the sun.

I just made a comment on your site.

I answered, thank you

In the summer it caught flies outside, but inside, while the weather was cold, the young seedlings that were about the same size as your seedling now, caught tiny springtails. Those tiny creatures do jump and are gread food source for your sundews

yea, the lights are just a little dimmer than full sunlight lol. the seedlings and plants under them seem to like them; even my VFT babies are coloring up

i bought a drosera capensis and noticed that it grew like a baby or something on the side, its very small and green, what should i do to it?

It has a side shot, made from the crown of the main plant or from a root. Leave it like that. It may grow in clumps. You can cut the root to pot it somewhere else, but you take a risk on the stress side if you are not carefull, when it is growing bigger.
