    The top one, the sundew! The ones I have aren’t too bad honestly, I only have 4. Pinguiculas are the 3 I started with and the main thing to remember is they need low/no-mineral water (I honestly have just been using bottled since I had a case handy). They need neutral soil (plain sphagnum moss has been my go-to), and as long as they’re kept relatively damp since they’re naturally found in a swamp you’re good to go!

    They’ve been easy to take care of and I definitely appreciate them picking up the stray fungus gnats. If you’re interested, definitely read up on them but they’re honestly super easy to look after and have been a great starter carnivorous for me. I’ve heard sundews are even easier so I’ll see how that goes!
