I have my nephentes ventrata for about a year now. For about a few days i saw something in the pot and i don't know what. Up is light brown (like in my drawing) with 3 spikes and below is green with smaller spikes on the left and the right (they are smaller than the upper ones). In the image the left and the right spikes doesn't show very well. I keep my new bought drosera capensis next to nephentes ventrata. My new drosera capensis doesn't have flowers yet and couldn't get in my old nephentes. It could be a drosera seedling growing from my 1 year nephentes pot ? And does drosera may grow from seed from a 1 year old pot ?

Maybe it will grow like the one from the below link ?

Nephentes i bought 1 year ago and drosera is 1 month ago. I didn't mix the soil. Aphids cannot and other house insects spread the seeds and grow in a few days, i think. MICKEY, i understand you don't know. Maybe someone know :) If the 1 year old neph pot had seeds, the seeds waited 1 year ?
Edit :
Added a windows paint image i made.

it might just be an offshoot produced by the roots of your plant.

victor couldnt have said it any better but, offshoots are not produced by roots. Offshoots are produced by erupting off the main vine hence the name offshoots. Offshoots (also in your case )form underground causing people to think it is a different plant.As for the hairs nepenthes leaves are a bit hairy.All of this might have caused you to bealive it was a sundew I am 99.99% sure it is an offshoot. Either way congratulations.

P.S. Do not call me a plant nerd :lol:
