I like to keep my sundew a little wetter than my vft, especially because they divide and use loads of water for that. Dews fine and just happens, I dont do anything special.

D. spatulata is a bit invasive, some growers call it a weed. That's one of the easiest sundews, just follow the general CP growing tips and it'll do fine. Give it as much light as you can.

yeah, keep your sundew's roots wet, never dry the soil out.
