    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 😀

        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?

          In winter I don’t think it needs the plate but the soil should be kept damp. So far mine has been with a few milliliters of water 24/7 and it looks happy.

          I have no idea about peat moss, sorry. I know there’s special soil for carnivorous plants, very poor on nutrients, but my plant is still in the soil the shop gave it
