For the ones that I have, there are some that may be a bit fickle, which is fine, because for the many others, they will not have such issues in just staying alive. There are many of my spoon-leaved sundews that have flowered, and some that have not flowered, but instead have withered away, and dried up. There are some that were in a similar situation, but something else occurred. That something else, was to introduce a smaller sundew underneath or besides itself. This is where I have to keep a keen eye on them, to see some of these changes.
When looking at my other sundews, the cape sundews, they are now beginning to push a flower stalk for each of those. I think it’s great to finally see this. Now, I need to feed them a bit now.
I may have stated in another journal entry, that I fed them with dried bloodworms. It is quite easy for the capes, but the spoon-leaved ones, unless they get a little bigger, that might be a bit of a challenge. To an extent, I’m almost grateful for the lingering fungus gnats that haven’t been caught by the sticky traps, or their larvae weren’t completely destroyed by the mosquito bits just yet.
There’s a part of me that now understands why it’s been said, by plant owners before me, that sundews are the easiest of carnivorous plants to care for.
