How To Feed Sundews

Sundews are unique types of carnivorous plants which belong to the genus Drosera. This genus contains a varied and extensive number of species each with their own unique form, color and trapping mechanism. Like all carnivorous plants sundews rely on captured prey items to obtain vital trace elements such as nitrogen for healthy growth.
In this video I explain why sundews are the easiest carnivorous plants to feed. I also demonstrate how growers of these amazing plants can feed sundews to achieve healthy, large specimens including.......

What food to use
How to store and prepare the plant food
How to apply the food to the sundew leaf
How often to feed your plants
What size food portion to apply and why too large a food item can harm your plant.

Other topics covered in the video include an explanation as to what sundews are, how they attract and catch insects, and why one would even consider feeding sundews even though they're effective they are at capturing their own insects.

I briefly cover feeding for the following species:
Drosera capensis (Cape Sundew)
Drosera venusta
Drosera pygmaea
Drosera burmannii (Tropical Sundew)
Drosera binata
Drosera spatulata
