This winter (I’m in Sydney Australia) I noticed a tiny sundew (4mm) growing with one of my flytraps. When I repotted the flytraps I put it in the middle of them just to see what happened. In 6 weeks the flytraps have grown like crazy but the sundew has only grown a few mm. I have taken a photo but it’s not great! Can anyone tell what sort it is? Is it normal for them to grow so slowly? I would like to help it survive if I can. Thank for any help.

It's a little young yet, but maybe a spatulata.
While flytraps can respond well and benefit from a repot, most sundews don't like the manhandling and stall for a bit.
Good news though, it's got boogers and it looks like it's putting out new leaves, so you should have a better idea of what it it in a few months.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

Thanks for the reply, I’ll take another photo and post again when it gets a bit bigger
