So I noticed that these tiny sprouts seem to be growing next to one of my Venus fly traps and next to my cape sundew. Can someone tell me what they are exactly and if I should remove them?

Hard to say in the first photo. They almost look like baby flytraps. Let them grow a bit more and get a better ID on them.

In the second photo, it is definitely some sort of grass you'll want to pull out.

So I went and got rid of the grass sprouts in my sundew pot, and in the process of doing that I spotted this other, bigger sprout growing in there! I didn't see it initially because some of the moss was covering it up a bit. So, what's the ruling on this one: let it die, or let it grow?
