◆ How to Grow Them Successfully:
# 1. Prepare the Growing Medium
- Soil Mix: Use a nutrient-poor, well-draining mix. The most common mix is 50% sphagnum peat moss and 50% perlite or silica sand. Avoid regular potting soil, as it contains nutrients that can harm sundews.
- Sterilization: Optional but recommended to avoid mold¡ªboil or microwave the soil mix before use, then let it cool and drain.
# 2. Choose the Right Pot
- Use small pots with good drainage. Plastic pots or trays work best because Drosera plants are sensitive to minerals that may leach from ceramic or clay pots.
- Place the pots in a tray that can hold water (to create a self-watering environment).
# 3. Sow the Seeds
- Surface Sowing: Scatter the seeds evenly on the surface of the soil. Sundew seeds are extremely tiny, so do not bury them, as they need light to germinate.
- Gently press the seeds into the soil with a flat surface, like a small spoon or your fingers, but don¡¯t cover them with soil.
# 4. Provide Proper Lighting
- Light: Sundews require bright, indirect light. If growing indoors, use full-spectrum grow lights or place them near a sunny window. Aim for 12-16 hours of light per day.
- Temperature: Ideal temperature for germination is between 20-30¡ãC (68-86¡ãF). Keep the environment warm, especially during the initial stages.
# 5. Maintain Humidity and Moisture
- Humidity: Sundew seeds need high humidity to germinate. You can cover the pot or tray with a clear plastic dome or place it in a humidity tent.
- Watering: Water using the tray method. Add distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water to the tray, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Never use tap water, as sundews are sensitive to minerals.
# 6. Germination Period
- Sundew seeds can take anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks to germinate, depending on the species and environmental conditions.
- Maintain consistent humidity, warmth, and light during this period.
# 7. Post-Germination Care
- Once the seedlings start growing, you can gradually remove the humidity dome, allowing the seedlings to acclimate to the lower humidity of their environment.
- Continue watering with the tray method, keeping the soil moist at all times.
- Avoid fertilizing, as sundews get nutrients from trapping insects once they¡¯re mature.
# 8. Feeding (Once Mature)
- As the plants grow larger, they will produce sticky, glandular tentacles to trap prey. Once mature, they can catch small insects like fruit flies.
- If grown indoors without access to bugs, you can feed them small, dried insects or freeze-dried bloodworms occasionally.
