Drosera alba is a carnivorous plant with fleshy roots native to South Africa . This sundew is unique in the dimorphism of its leaves: at the beginning of its growth, they form a pretty rosette, then when the flowering period comes, they are very erect and filiform.

2 beautiful feet per pot.

With good light, it can turn red, offering a magnificent spectacle, enhanced by its large white or slightly pink flowers. Cultivated in the northern hemisphere, its vegetative period extends from October to March. Subsequently, its aerial parts disappear naturally, then it starts again from its roots in autumn.

3 to 5 cm high.

Drosera Care

Sundew and watering

Use only rainwater, demineralized or osmosis . Water that is too hard will cause the plant to die in a few weeks. Do not use bottled water, it generally contains too much salt, which is harmful to the plant. In summer, place the plant in a large saucer with water at all times.
In winter, keep the substrate moist without leaving the plant with its feet in water.

Temperature and Drosera

Up to 30°C in summer and 0 to 15°C in winter.

Substrate for Drosera

Carnivorous plant mix is the basic substrate for many species, you can make it yourself by mixing blond peat , perlite and vermiculite , (4V/1V/1V) or blond peat , and non-calcareous aquarium sand (2V/1V). Sphagnum moss is also suitable.

Exhibition for Drosera

For optimal growth, high light is necessary. Drosera appreciate a partial shade exposure , or full sun in the early morning, or late afternoon. From spring to autumn, they grow by forming new leaves. In winter, if you cannot leave outside the species that need a cool winter rest, place them in a cool room under artificial light .

Fertilizer for Drosera

To be totally avoided! Plants provide for their own organic nutrient needs through their traps.
