Sundews are really beautiful plants (I'm guessing that's a sundew or a relative anyway). Pitchers are my favorite when it comes to carnivorous plants, but it's a close second.
Don't "feed" it I have basically killed almost every carnivorous plant I have ever had by giving it's bugs.
Don't over water and keep it like any other plant, the act of capturing a bug is a high energy process.
Im hoping with it being above the kitchen sink and a few feet from the kitchen compost bins that it’ll catch the few fruit flies we get. Can they be overwatered? I was told to keep it in a tray of distilled water or rainwater.
They are delicate, so yes watering from the bottom encourages root growth & helps prevent mold. Change the water out every when possible so it doesn't become to stangent.
They can survive without feeding?
What is it and what does it do?
Looks like a Drosera Capensis! The fuzzy ends are sticky and trap the bugs and curls around them.
I just looked up the type from the photo I snapped of the care instructions and you’re right! He had it listed as Cape Sundew :)
