Had my cape sundew a week now and I’m praying she’s settling in… am I best feeding her while she’s acclimatising? If so what’s your recommendations? I have her sat in a dish/ramekin of rain water 🥰

She needs to be in sunlight outside or in a window that gets full sun for most of the day. She will sparkle ✨ with dew when she gets the right amount of sunlight 😁🤩

She’s in a west facing window currently as this is where I’m having trouble with fungus gnats… my south window has succulents so she’d not get fed lol. There’s several hours of direct sunlight from midday-ish onwards so praying this is enough 🤞🏻 x

Mine took about a month to settle in. Keep bottom watering in a nice sunny window and it’ll get there!
