I bought mine on eBay....but be careful....only buy from Sprouse 2006, flytraps, emeraldcitycarnivores, and there's a few others I'll have to get back to you on that....or just trust your instincts. I've learned what to look for so I don't get ripped off again. I only buy from reputable sellers. @jeatacake

Thanks Kyla. I have had some duff seeds from EBay, which never grew, so I will take your advice👍

Ah, these are great little carnivorous plants too & we have some native sundews, but quite rare in their natural habitat 👌

Yes ma'am. They live in poor nutrient soil..... The nutrients in the soil kill them. And thrive on rain water or distilled or reverse osmosis water. They don't like the salts in tap water. Their main nutrition comes from the insects they catch or you feed them. 🐝🐜🐞😀💕 @terrimclaughlin

Me too Kyla. They are usually growing on the edges if peat bogs. Not sure how far the nearest one is from where I am.
