So if I get a Drosera, It'll die quick but reproduce fast? I don't want to buy pots every month and end upwith the porch being a sundew deathtrap.

D.adelae can be reproduced very easily by root cuttings - just select a few good sized roots and lay them across long fibred sphagnum, it helps to lightly cover sections of the roots with more sphagnum and to keep the moisture up. Place in bright indirect light & in 2 to 3 months you should have more plants than you know what to do with!
