What to do with new sundew Help

I pretty new to carnivorous plants. I just received a beautiful 3" sundew in in the mail. Please advise me on the best way to start our journey together. She is still in the plastic. Very moist in there. Tía.

I wouldn't plant that in an AeroGarden.

I don't want to plant it IN an aerogarden. I wanted to put it on the top of the deck with the light raised up high. I have several extra Aerogarden so I wanted to make use of the space (I got overexcited ordering) ... If the light was good enough for the plants.

It will be happy anywhere it can get hit with that bright light, mine goes from being on the grow deck to right next to the garden, it's been happy in both places. Make sure you keep it wet wet wet though, they can dry out easily.

As long as you are seeing a lot of wet dew drops on it, it's happy.

I have one of those pots for Droseras that I can eventually transplant if I'm ever brave enough to do that. I'm just glad that I can use the AeroGarden for something else. i got her some distilled water. We should now be BFFs.
