Drosera hirticalix
Sundew
Description
Drosera hirticalix is a species of sundew known for its sticky, tentacle-covered leaves and carnivorous nature. The leaves are usually green or reddish, with the tentacles producing a glistening, sticky substance to trap insects. The plant typically has a rosette growth habit, and produces small, white or pink flowers. It thrives in boggy conditions, absorbing nutrients from the insects. The plant is beautiful and can be used for decorative purposes. Provide a moist, acidic substrate, plenty of sunlight, and use distilled or rainwater to prevent mineral buildup. This species, like other Drosera, is popular among carnivorous plant enthusiasts.
