Hello I got my drosera 2 days ago, and it is very small, but it has 4 flowers (see picture). My question is, should I cut them off? Isn't it difficult for the plant to grow while it is concentrating on growing flowers? Or would I harm it with cutting off its flowers? Thank you in advance.

Flowers don't have too much of an effect on many Drosera as long as the plants are well fed. Enjoy the flowers which can be quite lovely and plant some of the seed the have even more plants. I mean what a bargain, you paid for one plant and in a few weeks you can have dozens or even hundreds! You might want to take care that the seed doesn't get all over the place or you have sundews popping up in places where you might not want them.

Thank you for the quick reply. I already noticed some mini droseras in the tile of my sarracenia, so I am expecting to have a huge population of droseras  I will leave the flower then. Thank you for the link aswell!
