Drosera - happy guarding the fig moss cups

This one is feasting on a daily basis, the gnats target this one vs the other types

Isn't that a Ping Moctazumae? Drosera have little droplets of sticky nectar on ther leaves. Either way they get those gnats!

The figs have been moved outside so the gnats are searching for new food.....

I could use a couple of those for the fruit flies that must have come from some bananas or tomatoes from the store.

Octopus inc sells them and if he's out you can search on drosera to get a list of suppliers.  The moctazumas have bigger flowers but the drosera attract and eat more.  4 or 5 Drosera capensis per room full of gnats is all you need.

I just received my 'tiny' Drosera.capensis (sundew) plants.
Surprisingly, they came already equipped to devour some little 'wilder-beasts'!

Also, they have with some 'roots'.
Apart from an anchor-to-ground, and absorbing water;
I wonder, do the roots provide any nutrients to the plant?

They are also mostly 'green' in color.
Any photosynthesis activity here?

Being inexperienced in carnivorous plants;
I hope that they still do flourish for me.

I hear/read that these are one of the easiest prolific
ones to start with - and maybe the last for the
purpose of crunching them 'pain-in-the-butt' fungus gnats...
