In winter I don't think it needs the plate but the soil should be kept damp. So far mine has been with a few milliliters of water 24/7 and it looks happy.
I have no idea about peat moss, sorry. I know there's special soil for carnivorous plants, very poor on nutrients, but my plant is still in the soil the shop gave it

I've never seen this carnivorous plant before! I just ordered one for my sunroom that gets moisture gnats. Excited to see how it does 😀

I think you'll love it. Remember to keep it on a plate with water!

Oh thank you for the tip! So it should stay within some water 24/7? Is it ok if it's in a pot with mostly peat moss too?

Do you grow flies to feed it, or are you in a buggy area?

I live in a buggy area, there are fruit flies everywhere

Someone in another thread with a similar plant says not to feed them anyway. Looks great! I love sundews and related plants!

I haven't fed mine lol. Even if it were a particularly useless hunter, with the amount of flies we have here, inevitably some would fall into it.
