Sundews can be as small as a penny or as large as a small bush.
Their leaves may be strapped-shaped, oval or forked and branching like a fern or lethal spider web. We recommend reading The Savage Garden to fully explore these incredible plants. Almost all species thrive in a mixture of roughly half peat and half sand. Some will require a sandier mix than others. A few do best in long fibered sphagnum moss.
