My plants are shipped in high-quality Canadian peat moss, sourced from sustainably managed bogs. These bogs are carefully harvested and managed to ensure environmental balance, making this peat moss an eco-conscious choice for plant care. It also helps retain moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering. Shipping potted helps reduce plant shock so plants can arrive and start thriving faster. 🌿 Care Instructions:Water: Keep in 1-2 inches of distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water at all times. Never let the soil dry out.Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to partial sun. More light brings out a red coloration in the plant, giving you a good indicator of how much light it’s receiving. Avoid intense, direct sunlight, which can cause stress.Temperature: Ideal temperature range is 40-80°F. Can tolerate some extreme temperatures for very short periods but may experience die-off. Don’t worry—it will regrow!Dormancy: No dormancy required. 🌱 Potting Medium: Avoid using a potting medium with nutrients or minerals. For most sundews, I typically use straight peat moss, but you can also mix with sand if you'd like more drainage. The peat moss I use is available in my shop. If you’d like to combine shipping, I can fit some plants into the box of peat moss—just let me know! 🌱 Additional Tips:Regaining Dew: If your plant loses its dew, it will usually regain it within a few weeks to a month under proper conditions. Check water levels and light if the dew fades.Troubleshooting: Ensure sufficient water and adjust light exposure if your plant isn’t thriving. Avoid using nutrient-rich soil or tap water, which can harm the plant. Enhance your collection with this charming predator and experience the fascinating world of carnivorous plants firsthand!
