Recently I just got a Sundew from Home Depot, A Drosera Capensis, to be exact. Carolyn's trying to help me out with it and right now it's in the garden. Ummm.. any ideas? Any... uuhhh.. thing to help me out? XD Besides using Distilled water and lots of sunlight? Carolyn, Eric, and I are planning to help people out by telling them the REAL way on how to take care of them, by printing out mini care-sheets and going to stores from time-to-time using some tape and sticking them onto the containers.. telling them that they shouldn't be even in containers... Sooo. Wish me luck on my Sundews..

Just make sure you also bring him in during the winter because they are tropical and do not need dormancy during the winter. If you give them dormancy they will die.
