btw for future references, yes there is Vermiculite in there.
i found that vermiculite holds no negative effect to D. capensis.

The only problem with wet Vermiculite is that it breaks down after awhile into a mushy substance.

Seriously, I would take sections of the surface and place them in several pots. This way you won't end up with a tangled mess of plants, starving each other out.

D. capesnsis is like a dandelion - attractive plant that is way too successful for its own good! Whne ya think sundew, and have a mental image, capensis is what comes to mind. It really is a much better plant to give a kid that a VFT, that would likely die within a season.
