How To Know Your Sundew Seeds Are Ready For Harvest

Today I answer one of the most common questions I get about Sundews! When should you harvest the seeds from a Sundew flower?

my sundew is currently flowering, so thank you for this advise!

I always get to them too late!

So is there a list that shows which sundew is self pollinating and which not? And yes it is quite annoying to have capensis or spatulata almost everywhere ;) Sometimes I forget to cut the flowers too... But you get extra plants from dealers also, sometimes I find Utricularias (although I dont posses any) or D.burmannii or others I don't have after some time in a pot I got from a commercial seller.

My drosera capillaris pods are already brown but the seeds arent ready yet. How do i know if they're ready ?

My capensis was in bloom but it sort of stopped before getting to the last flower. The ones that did close just started turning black so I cut off the stalk. What could this be possibly caused by?
Also, should we keep feeding our carnivorous plants when they are in bloom? If so, should they be fed more frequently?

Ran out of energy. When sundews are flowering you need to increase feeding. The ones that turned black after blooming were trying to produce seed which is extremely taxing on the plant.
