The Drosera Spatulata ‘Sundew’ is a captivating carnivorous plant known for its delicate rosette of spoon-shaped leaves covered in sparkling, sticky tentacles. These tiny gland-tipped hairs produce glistening droplets that resemble morning dew, giving the plant its common name. Not only are these droplets beautiful, but they also serve an important purpose—helping the plant capture and digest small insects.
Compact and easy to grow, the Drosera Spatulata ‘Sundew’ is a fantastic introduction to carnivorous plants. Its symmetrical rosette shape and shimmering foliage make it a fascinating display piece for windowsills, terrariums, or carnivorous plant collections. When conditions are right, it may also produce slender flower stalks with small, delicate blooms that add even more charm to this unique plant.
Plant Care Tips:
-
Light: Bright light to full sun is ideal. Strong light encourages the plant to produce its signature sticky “dew.”
-
Water: Keep soil consistently moist using distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. Avoid tap water due to mineral content.
-
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but can adapt to typical indoor levels if kept properly watered.
-
Soil: Use a carnivorous plant mix such as sphagnum moss or peat with perlite. Do not use standard potting soil.
- Feeding: The plant will naturally catch small insects, but occasional feeding of tiny insects can help support growth.
