I bought sundew seeds a while ago. None grew but a few leaves that i thought were weeds. They have been growing for a long time now and i noticed they are low to the ground and are a pinkish green color starting to grow a 3rd leaf. All the pics of butterworts ive seen look like this. This is the pic

Well i live in northern us, massachusetts. Well, still figuring out what to do for winter. I have a s flava , Purple pitcher, Capensis sundew, venus flytrap. -
Im in the army rangers. My rank is Lieutenant. I live in Northern US. I plan on making a career in the army. Ive done two tours in Iraq. To get away from some of the stress I grow cp's, im not an expert but i try.
-
I want to buy a sundew that can handle winter and not die.
-
Yeah, I just repoted it into a bigger pot but kept it in the soil it came in, I wont report the soil mix just yet. Also how long does it take for a trap to roll up.
-
My capensis i got from walgreens in bad condition. Ive had it for a few weeks, when i got it it had the start of a flower then it just turned black. Now its growing a new flower stem is this normal, can i cut it off to save plant energy? Also when the plant catches a bug the trap doesnt roll up is this normal to?
-
I have them outside, they do catch a lot, like for the early spring and fall there arnt many bugs.
-
I dont have many bugs but i have thousands of mosquito larvae. Would this be good food for my plants or bad?
-
Ok. Ill try to rig somthing up to hold them up.
-
Well i used peat moss to repot. It shouldnt be dry i had it in a dish befor i took the pitcure.
-
Well what should I do about the plant leaning sideways and dried up inside. Also somthing is eating the outside on a few of the pichers. http://img235.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sidewaysrn3.jpg Also some of the mouths are disformed they go the way it should go then theres a big indent.
-
Well, I just got the plant a few months ago from bugbitingplants.com or somthing like that. It was to big for the pot it was in so i transplanted it about two times. If i cut off the new growing pitchers would that allow the older ones to grow? Because the older ones get brown and the nectar part where bugs get attracted has turned like a dark purple not catching anything.
-
My S. flava is growing, very tiny new pitchers and dont get big enough to catch flys. The older pitchers have gotten old looking and not catching bugs or getting any bigger. I have the plant in a large pot. The biggest pitchure is probley about 7-10 inches groing sideways.
-
My S. Flava has lost its sweet smell and has not caught any bugs on its own. Its in full sun in a dish of water, any sudgestions?
-
OK thanks for the help.
-
I had my venus flytrap in no water and now I no why its dieing. My trap is about to flower so thanks for the help.
-
I have 25 sundew seeds and I want to plant them in peat moss. These are mixed seeds with differnt types of sundew. Do i need to put them under the peat moss or anything. I have been soaking the seeds in rain water for a day.
-
Ive searched many sites telling me to do differnt things. All i need to no is how much sun and water it needs.
