Would it matter if i planted a sarracenia a VFT and a sundew together?
I woul like to save some dosh by plant all of my plants in one big pot is this going to harm them or anything?

They all like acid soil, and rain water. They should be OK in the same pot providing it is large enough.
Reply:Get a really big pot otherwise you could strangle the roots.

Whats the fastest way to reproduce Cape Sundew?
I want to know the best way to get mature plants quickly, not just a lot of tiny plants. So, what is the best method besides seed for the quickiest maturing plants?
Whats the fastest way to reproduce Cape Sundew?
Not sure you can speed up Mother Nature. Most plants like this take time to mature. Even my Venus Fly trap isnt the quickest plant on earth. but I have found that I only use Distilled water and give it lots of sunlight, It does better

How does the sundew plant capture insects?
The sundew is an insectivorous plant which captures insects due to lack of nutrients.
How does the sundew plant capture insects?
With sticky goo.
See the pictures in the link. The leaves have bristles which secrete gobs of sticky goo at the tips.
Reply:sundew is an insectivorous plant which satisfies its nitrogen requirement by capturing of insects or sometimes frogs too..
it is spoon shape in appearance...it has long tube like projections at edge, which mainly helps in trapping organisms..... it has mucous like substance that enables organism to stick plant surface...
when organisms come in contact with the plant, they readily stimulate and capture the organism and digests it with acids present in plant itself...
Reply:When an insect lands on the Sundew, it will find itself caught in the sticky substance of the “dews” at the tip of each tiny tentacles on the leaves. As the insect struggles to free itself, more sticky tentacles around the insect would slowly move towards the insect to prevent its escape. The sticky glue suffocates and kills the insect and the plant secretes burning acids and enzymes that slowly breakdown the insect body. The insect’s bodily fluid is then released and the plant reabsorbs this rich nutrient to help in growth.

Im taking care of a Sundew, what should I do be doing?
I recently bought a Sundew since my Venus Flytrap went dormant for the rest of the season. I dunno if I am taking care of it correctly, like, I put it in a cup of tap water(that sat out overnight) and I placed it as close to the window I can get, so, what should I do now? What shouldnt I have done? What should I look out for? Help!
Im taking care of a Sundew, what should I do be doing?
Sundew's will go dormat for the season too. Sounds like you're following all the right steps, except the water from the tap should sit for 24 hours. (Some say you can heat it to boiling and after it cools the chorine is out of it) Attached is a website that explains a lot about Sundew

How to take care of a Sundew(Drosera) plant?
About 2 weeks ago I got this little(tiny)Drosera/Sundew plant.Its a carnivivorus plant.It says I need a terrarium but i don't know what that is.i feel like it should be better taken care of--its still living in the plastic container i brought it in...i keep it moist and its supposed to be in humid weather but its hard cuz our house is on humid...its chilly.I just need to know what I should do with it...Help! I don't want it to die!
How to take care of a Sundew(Drosera) plant?
I either take the top off and let them grow right in the pot you bought them. Just be sure to water it frequently.
Or you can plant them in a terrarium. You can use any clear glass container that has a cover. Many stores now sell really cool glass containers for plants cheap.
Place dirt at the bottom, put in a little water and then the plant. Easy putting in the water it'll be next to impossible to take back out if you put in too much. Go slow. It wants damp soil, not soaking wet soil.
I'm told and am trying an experiment now that it works well to plant them in sphagnum moss. Check the website below in about a month and I'll have posted a note as to how well the moss planting worked with carnivorous plants.
I find the carnivorous plants do not like too much sun. So put them a little ways from a window or in a window that is not very bright.
Reply:For an easy terrarium I scout the local dump and get discarded fish tanks. They work even if there is a crack in one of the panes of glass because they don't have to be water proof. Short term, try cutting the top off a soft drink bottle and turning it upside down in the body of the bottle. It works quite well. Be careful not to put so much water in that the plant rots though.
Reply:for warmth place your plant on top of your cable box (which is always warm) and honestly you can leave the plant in the pot that it came with WITH the cover on for as long as a year (mine was in the same pot for two years on the cable box and I fed it small fly's and ants)
