Feeding Sundews in captivity thrive on bugs, lean meat, or powdered milk. A small piece of banana can be used to attract fruit flies. Sundews can be converted to a vegetarian lifestyle, but they may still be led astray by a passing fly. Avoid chlorinated water. The sundews come rooted in live sphagnum moss, and can be transplanted into either living or nonliving sphagnum moss, peat moss, or standard potting soil.
Live sphagnum is best because sphagnum makes acid that kills bacteria and fungi.
They can tolerate some freezing. The top portions of the plant will die back to a winter bud. Flowering Flowers are white with quarter- inch petals. They open fully only in strong sunlight. Flowers are pollinated by insects the same insects that get eaten if they land on the leaves.
