Ordering a sundew...

First of all, I want to order a sundew... but I have one HUGE problem. I have a digital hygrometer, and everywhere in my house, it is very dry, and im always getting those stupid shocks when I touch stuff. The hygrometer SAYS IVE GOT 25% HUMIDITY! Thats really low! If I were to order one, theres no way it could produce dew... Much less even survive! Domes? Terrariums? No! I want it too live just with the little plastic cup that arrives over it for humidity, But... any tips on making it humidiccc.... Humidic....
 
You could get a humidifier,or a terrarium for the plant/plants.

What type of Drosera is it? Many Drosera can take quite low humidity, for example about every Drosera I have has been at about 25% humidity for the last 6 months with no ill effects. So long as all the other conditions are met humidity is actually not such a huge issue

Druid-man,
I agree with Pyro. I have several different types of sundews and they do fine in low humidity. My meter shows a rH of 35% right now and I've seen it down to 21%.
