a pygmy sundew from austrailia grow it in a 1:1 mix of peat and silver sand and grow in full sun, the plant reproduces via gammes and seed (the former being the easiest to grow) and is winter growing, it forms a dormant bud in summer and may not last past 2 years (despite being perennial) however can easily be grown from the buds that it produces.
