Drosera
Description
Drosera binata, commonly known as the forked sundew, is a carnivorous plant known for its unique leaf structure. The leaves are divided into two lobes, each covered with sticky tentacles that trap insects. The leaves are typically green, though they can develop a reddish hue under strong sunlight. Drosera binata is a perennial plant native to Australia and New Zealand. These plants require specific growing conditions, including acidic soil and high humidity. They thrive in full sun or partial shade, with a constantly moist growing medium. Feed them with small insects or other appropriate food sources. Propagation can be done through leaf cuttings or division. It is essential to use distilled or rainwater when watering this plant, as tap water can be detrimental. Maintain a humid environment for optimal growth.
