This white flower form has mainly green plants, with distinct red sundew hairs that are covered in a sticky sap. Once an insect is attached, the leaves curl around the insect to digest it! This Sundew is easy to grow! These plants are most often grown indoors where they can be admired (and help rid the fly population) though they are hardy outdoors in zones 8-10. Grow plants in a bright location, but out of direct hot midday sun. Plant in a mixture of 30% sand and 70% peat moss. Plants never need fertilizer as they obtain their nutrient from the insects that they digest. Watering should be done with rain water or bottled water, as they dislike municipal treated water. Note: Sundew seeds are EXTREMELY tiny, probably the smallest we sell. We place them in special wax packaging to help you find them and sow them. GERMINATION: Sprinkle the tiny seeds on top of the growing medium. Do not cover them. Use a mixture of 30% sand and 70% peat moss. Cover the container with plastic to retain moisture. Place the container in very bright light at room temperature. Once the small plants begin to grow, slowly open the plastic a little each day. Use rain water or bottled water (use a spritz bottle while plants are small) to regularly water plants, but do not leave them standing on water. Generally seeds germinate anywhere from 1 to 3 months, but some stragglers can take up to a year. For all of our seeds, unless specified otherwise: Do not eat these seeds, or any part of the plants that they produce. These seeds and plants are ornamental only and are, or are to be assumed, poisonous.
