these seem to pop up in nearly every pot this time of year

Either you have a Cape Sundew that's spewing seeds or you have hitchhiking seeds in your pots. You can grab them by the stalk, right at media level, and gently pull them straight up to uproot them. Transplant them or give them away to new growers.

If you have a mature capensis too close to your flytrap pots, cut off the emergent scape as soon as you see it uncoiling. A single flower stalk can easily generate over a thousand seeds.

But I'm a Sundew kind of person. I'd force them to co-exist and if anybody got evicted, it wouldn't be the Drosera.

Good growing,
Mike
