Sundews (Drosera) are a family of carnivorous plants of which Charles Darwin once said, “I care more about (Drosera) than the origin of all the species in the world." Amber does not think we should trust this small plant for good reason. Drosera lures in its prey using a sweet sticky substance to capture and digest insects, and though just a plant, their movements are precise and deadly.
Sundews have been known to live up to 50 years and grow on all continents except Antarctica. Sundews generally grow in moist habitats with acidic soils and high sunlight levels. Many species grow in association with peat moss, which absorbs most of the nutrients in the soil.
Listen now to learn more about this fascinating plate that Darwin loved and that would eat you if it could only grow large enough.
