Drosera spathulata. (Spoonleaf Sundew) Origin: Australia. The tiny paddle-like hairy leaves are covered with drops of sticky goo, which trap insects that are attracted to the plant. In summer the sundews are topped with thin spikes holding small pink flowers. Sundews are winter hardy in most of the southeastern US, in cooler regions they can be grown in pots and terrariums as a house plant. Drosera graminifolia isn't very picky about soil. It grows well in the standard 1:1 peat:sand "CP mix". It will tend to be redder under brighter light. Once the plants are large enough you can try feeding them small insects or get some dried blood worms at a pet shop. The dried blood worms can be dipped in water and placed on the sticky leaves. Drosera spathulata can live for years. The plants tend to go though cycles of growth and semi-dormancy. When they bloom, save the seeds to grow more.

I’m so happy, it look healthy and it even looks like it is about to bloom. I didn’t realize this particular plant had blooms. 🥹 Now let’s hope I do well keeping it alive. I picked this one because I heard out of the carnivorous plants this one is more hardy. 🤞🏻 It even came with a thank you card and access to the app for info on the care of this specific species.

There was no instruction sent on how to grow to take care of and the plant looks like it's been tossed around in the package very smushed hopefully it grows but the current look doesnt look to good.
I love my little sundew plant! There may not have been instructions but the plant came amazingly and YouTube has info for just about everything thankfully!
