Family: Droseraceae

1-3 Plants in a Tissue Culture Cup

Description: Drosera 'Communis', known as the Common Sundew, features striking sticky tentacles that glitter under sunlight, designed to trap insects with remarkable efficiency. This cultivar is appreciated for its robust growth and larger dewy leaves that form a captivating rosette. Each tissue culture cup (5x7cm) contains 1 - 3 plants, ideal for those looking to explore the world of carnivorous plants.

Preferred Conditions: Prefers full to partial sunlight and thrives in high humidity environments, ideal for mimicking its natural bog-like habitat.

Soil Type: Best grown in a sphagnum moss and perlite mix, ensuring proper moisture retention and aeration.

Acclimatisation: Gradually introduce the plant to your local conditions, starting with a high-humidity setup and reducing humidity levels slowly.

Care Tips: Keep the soil consistently moist using distilled or rainwater. Avoid using fertiliser; the plant is self-sustaining as long as it can catch its prey.

Indoor/Outdoor: Can be grown indoors in a well-lit terrarium or outdoors in a moist, shaded area during the warm months.

Additional Information: Drosera 'Communis' not only offers aesthetic appeal with its dew-covered tendrils but also provides an eco-friendly approach to pest control.
