📍 Cultivated in Chennai
A small sundew whose leaves carry sticky red-tipped tentacles that catch gnats and springtails. It is a lively plant for an open bog bowl on a bright shelf, and it needs very little care once the water is right.
Water it with rain or RO water only. Tap water leaves minerals in the soil that slowly harm the roots.
- Rosette about 6 cm wide when grown
- Catches small insects on its own
- Needs bright light, a few hours of soft sun
- Stand it in 1 cm of rain or RO water
- Keep away from springtails you want to keep, as it eats them

Questions & answers
Q: Can I keep it with the springtail culture? — Karthik
A: The sundew will catch some springtails, so use it in a bog bowl without a clean-up crew, or accept a few losses.
Q: Does it need feeding? — Meera
A: No. It catches small insects on its own, and fertiliser burns the roots.
