I hear that if you want to grow a sundew you should start with a Drosera Aliciae because they are the easiest to grow and they can be grown year round. If that's true where would be a good place to purchase seeds?
There is a FlyTrapCare Community Seedbank. You can get CP seed if you request it and send in an SASE. Drosera aliciae, Drosera capensis, and several other beginner species are in stock. Click on the link in my signature to check it out.
But to second what Smooter80 said, it is a good idea to start with a mature adult plant if you've never grown CP before. A mature plant is more tolerant of cultivation mistakes. Seedlings usually do not have the strength to survive if you make a mistake. Very few new growers get things perfect with their first attempts. You can find some articles and good growing information
here. It's mostly about FlyTraps but also applies to Sundews, except for the dormancy requirements. Clean water, lots of light, and a CP friendly growing media are needed by (almost) all CP.
You can also post a request and see if any members of the community here have a D. aliciae or D. capensis that they'd be willing to part with.
Good growing,
Mike
