After the sundew's prey has been digested, the leaves and tentacles then reset themselves. Please note that the tentacles on the sundew are not the size or as developed as the jaws on the Venus fly trap. The pictures on this page give an excellent description of the tentacles. As exotic as the sundew might seem it is not uncommon to find them growing at someone's house or back yard. The sundew can be grown just about anywhere one lives.
Sundew can grow quite well in pots sitting in a couple inches of soft water or in an artificial bog.
Never fertilize, fertilizer should be kept to a minimum because of the plants intolerance of too much lime and fertilizer in the soil. The ideal mixture for these plants are peat and coarse sand. Another important factor to consider is that of humidity. These plants also require almost full exposure to the sun. Natural light works much better than artificial light because incandescent bulbs release too much heat on the plants.
