Drosera anglica giant
english sundew - great sundew
Description
Drosera anglica giant, also known as the English sundew, is a carnivorous plant belonging to the Droseraceae family. It's a perennial species characterized by its long, erect stems and leaves covered in sticky, glistening tentacles. These tentacles secrete a sticky mucilage, which traps insects, providing the plant with essential nutrients, especially nitrogen. The leaves are arranged in a rosette formation, and the plant produces small, white or pink flowers on tall scapes. The 'Giant' form is a larger and more robust variety compared to the typical species, and it is native to bogs and wetlands, where it thrives in nutrient-poor, acidic soils. Sundews require bright light and consistent moisture, with the soil kept consistently damp. It is a rewarding plant for bog gardens or terrariums.
