Requires consistently moist soil; do not let dry out between waterings. Water must be distilled or rain water because they do not tolerate city or hard water.
They are best grown outdoors as container or potted plants. They are excellent for the sunny deck or patio. You may also grow them in a pond or fountain.
This species differs visually from the more Northern variety by being slightly larger and the glands on the tip of the tentacles are greenish. The Southern Dewthread produces fertile pink flowers in April.
