Repotting Pygmy Sundews and Bladderworts: Simple Techniques

Easy Repotting for Tiny Pygmy Sundews and Bladderworts

A grower bought D. scorpioides, D. nitidula × pulchella, and a bladderwort mix. They fear damaging fragile pygmy sundew roots and are unsure how to handle the bladderwort's mat-like growth.

Expert Instructions

• Pygmy Sundews: Use a spoon to scoop deep (they have long roots).
• Bladderworts: No need for delicacy. Repot the entire mass or tear chunks and pot them. They're decentralized and will colonize fresh peat quickly.
