Hi everyone. I have a Venus flytrap and a couple sundews that I keep indoors with some success.

For this post, though,
I am wondering about the green growth mixed in and maybe overtaking the drosera venusta I bought. They've been roughly that same size for a couple weeks. New growth or some other plant?

Disregard the flower stem, it started growing when I was away and it aborted, I just never cut it off.

Those are all divisions of the mother plant. Next time you repot it, you can separate them all out onto a carpet of boogery leaves.

Huh. Ok. They looked so different. Alright, guess it's healthy.

Thanks

Immature ones often look different than a mature specimen. In fact, there are dozens of sundews that are almost identical for the first few weeks, even months, until their personalities start to show by growing up a bit.
Unless you're referring not to the little paddles, but to the live moss. That's normal too, but a different plant they generally stays small.
