Finding light for Natal Sundew in your home
Natal Sundew love being close to bright, sunny windows 😎.
Place it less than 1ft from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Natal Sundew does not tolerate low-light 🚫.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Natal Sundew in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Natal Sundew
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Natal Sundew after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I don’t know what to do with Coco. I’ve never had a plant like this ever. Is it okay to have her under a grow light? I’ve read some post on here that you have to feed it … eeewww.. not sure about that part. If I don’t feed it will it die??? 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ #SpoonLeavedSundew
