Drosera intermedia giant form
sundew - hardy
Description
Drosera intermedia giant form is a stunning carnivorous plant, a larger variety of the Drosera intermedia species, commonly called the spatulate-leaved sundew. These sundews have leaves that are shaped like spatulas, covered in tiny, glistening tentacles. The tentacles secrete a sticky mucilage, which attracts and traps small insects. The trapped insects provide the sundew with essential nutrients. This giant form exhibits a larger size and more robust growth compared to the typical Drosera intermedia. It thrives in bright light, with constant moisture. It is a perennial that can withstand some temperature variations. The plant produces small, white flowers on tall stems. The soil should be nutrient-poor and acidic, similar to its native bog habitats. Use rainwater or distilled water.
