Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Sundew seeds typically do not require any special preparation before planting.

Sowing:

Fill a shallow planting tray or pot with a suitable growing medium, such as sphagnum moss or a peat-based mixture.
Moisten the growing medium thoroughly with distilled water or rainwater. Sundews are sensitive to minerals and chemicals found in tap water.
Scatter the sundew seeds evenly over the surface of the moistened growing medium. Avoid burying the seeds; they require light to germinate.
Lightly press the seeds into the surface of the growing medium to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

Germination:

Sundew seeds require high humidity and warm temperatures to germinate. Cover the planting tray or pot with a clear plastic lid or plastic wrap to create a mini greenhouse environment.
Place the tray or pot in a warm, bright location with indirect sunlight. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can cause the growing medium to overheat.
Germination typically occurs within 2 to 4 weeks, but it can take longer depending on the species and growing conditions.

Transplanting:

Once the sundew seedlings have developed several true leaves and are large enough to handle, they can be transplanted into individual pots filled with the same growing medium.
Carefully lift the seedlings from the tray or pot using a small spoon or spatula, taking care not to damage the delicate roots.
Plant each seedling in its own pot at the same depth it was growing in the tray or pot.
Water the transplanted seedlings gently to settle the growing medium around the roots.

Care and Maintenance:

Sundews require consistently moist growing conditions. Keep the growing medium evenly moist at all times, but avoid waterlogging, as this can cause root rot.
Provide ample bright, indirect sunlight for healthy growth and development. If growing indoors, consider supplementing with artificial grow lights.
Sundews obtain nutrients by capturing and digesting insects with their sticky glandular hairs. Allow them to catch their own food rather than feeding them directly.
Remove any dead or dying leaves as needed to maintain plant health and appearance.
Monitor the plants for pests or diseases, such as aphids or fungal infections, and treat promptly with appropriate measures if necessary.

Happy gardening!
