Drosera 2"

Drosera

The Drosera, commonly known as sundew, is a fascinating member of the carnivorous plant family. This unique houseplant is renowned for its ability to attract and digest insects.

Originating from tropical regions, the Drosera thrives in warm, humid environments. Its delicate, tentacle-like leaves are adorned with glistening, sticky droplets that lure unsuspecting prey. When an insect comes into contact with these droplets, the plant swiftly curls its leaves to ensnare the catch, showcasing its remarkable adaptation for nutrient acquisition.

Light: In terms of care, the Drosera prefers bright, indirect light and requires a well-draining, acidic growing medium. 

Watering: Regular misting or placement in a terrarium can help maintain the humidity levels that this plant thrives in. It is important to keep the soil consistently moist, utilizing distilled water or rainwater to avoid mineral buildup.
