Different varieties of Drosera have unique needs! It’s best to do a little online research to find out how to take care of your particular plant as it matures and grows over the next several years. Once your seedlings are mature, you can take them out of their plastic bag. They can now be moved to bright greenhouses or windowsills. Be sure they’re getting plenty of sunlight, however!  For plants that you’re keeping inside, these growing conditions will continue to work for years to come! If you’re concerned your plants aren’t getting enough light, continue to use 25W fluorescent lights on them. Turn off the lights at night. Keep your pots in water trays and add water to the tray frequently, never allowing the soil to dry out. You shouldn’t top water sundews. While a light misting with a spray bottle works if the soil feels dry, they’ll do much better drawing water up from their trays. There should always be a few centimeters (about an inch) of water in the tray. Top watering is when you pour water onto the surface of the soil surrounding the plants using something like a watering can. Carnivorous plants prefer “bottom watering,” which means that you pour water into the tray you keep beneath the pots. Generally, these plants will attract household pests, which is their preferred form of feeding. If your plants aren't catching household bugs, though, you need to feed them at least once or twice per week. Buy a container of pure blood worms online or at your local pet store. You can then feed your plants by following these steps:  Put a small amount of dried worms onto a plate you use only for this purpose. Add a few drops of water to the plate to rehydrate the worms. Use a toothpick to spear some wet worms and put them on several of the Drosera’s leaves or tentacles. Be careful about placing too much on the leaves, though, as they can cause rot. Wait about thirty minutes for the leaf or tentacle to curl around the worms. Some sundews do great in pots outdoors once the seedlings are established. Go online to see if your particular plant will thrive outside in your area.  For most plants, you can keep using the peat and sand soil mixture. Make sure you put the pots in a spot with full-sun exposure. Use a water tray underneath the plant to keep the soil moist. Unless you can create a mini-bog in your garden, sundews will need to be kept in pots outdoors. Planting them in normal gardens won’t provide them with enough water. Generally, sundews like a warmer, humid environment. You may need to invest in a humidifier and keep the plants’ room at about 70-80℉ (21-27℃). However, you should go online and look up your plant’s specific growing guide to be sure you’re giving it what it needs! Almost all sundews, like other carnivorous plants, don’t need fertilizers. In fact, they hate them! Drosera regia, however, appreciates limited exposure to fertilizer. To fertilize Drosera regia, add a small amount of pelleted fertilizer high in nitrogen to its soil. Use a slow-release fertilizer at the beginning of the growing season in spring. You only need about four to six pellets per small pot. Certain varieties of sundew grown in pots inside like a rest period for about ten weeks beginning at the start of winter. Look up your type of sundew to see if your plant needs this treatment. During dormancy, the plants will begin to wilt and their leaves may turn brown or black. Don’t worry, they’re not dying! To provide dormancy, simply:  Put the plants on an unheated porch. The nighttime temperatures should drop to about 32-55℉ (0-13℃).  Slightly reduce the amount of water you give the plants. While the soil shouldn’t be allowed to dry out, it shouldn’t be wet or even extremely damp.

Summary: Follow the growing guidelines for your Drosera. Move seedlings to a greenhouse or bright windowsill. Give your plants plenty of distilled water. Feed seedlings and mature plants dried blood worms. Transplant mature seedlings if they’ll grow well outdoors. Monitor the humidity and temperature for indoor plants. Avoid using any fertilizers on or near most sundews. Allow some indoor sundews to have a dormancy period.
