I fed some of my spatulata sundew seedlings and they took off. I didn't think that feeding them would make a big difference.
The green sundew in the picture is one that I fed almost 2 weeks ago. It wasn't that big compared to the rest in the pot, but now it's putting out very large leaves really quick.

How did you feed it?

I found a tiny spider crawling around and I just dropped it into one of the leaves.

Helps when you have stuff running around. At least you don't have to grind up fish food....

I squished a couple fungus gnats and fed them to a couple other plants. I also found what appeared to be a fruit fly maggot crawling around. That too became food for my plants.

I get my plant and chase the gnats with it.....

Perhaps not the best habit to get into.

results in your neighbors thinking you are *mentally unstable*

True true. But then they won't ask me over parties. Which is a plus so....

You look out your window and you see your neighbor running around with a pot in his hands yelling, "I'm gonna get you!"

You'd think twice about crossing in their yard.

Like running around the backyard with a fish net, catching bugs for your flytraps? Been there, done that.

Hunting around the sidewalks with my brothers catching ants? Been there, done that.

It started with some humble ants. Then, pill bugs. Then, spiders. Now, I'm searching for caterpillars!
