Meet my mighty huntress

A Drosera carnivorous plant, that has proved very efficient at hunting fruit flies and mosquitoes

I've never seen this carnivorous plant before! I just ordered one for my sunroom that gets moisture gnats. Excited to see how it does 😀
- I think you'll love it. Remember to keep it on a plate with water!
  
  Oh thank you for the tip! So it should stay within some water 24/7? Is it ok if it's in a pot with mostly peat moss too?

Beautiful plant. I just ordered one to complement my VFT.

I have 3-4 of them to control fruit flies and fungus mats. They do an excellent job.

Do you grow flies to feed it, or are you in a buggy area?
- I live in a buggy area, there are fruit flies everywhere
  
  Someone in another thread with a similar plant says not to feed them anyway. Looks great! I love sundews and related plants!

Love this! Might have to get one!
