Drosera spatulata - "Spoon-Leaf Sundew"

Drosera spatulata, the Spoon-Leaf Sundew, is a compact carnivorous plant with small rosettes of sticky, insect-catching leaves. It is a good choice for growers who can provide bright light and mineral-free water.

Care: Use only distilled, reverse-osmosis, or rain water. Keep the media consistently moist to wet, often by standing the pot in a shallow tray of water. Grow in very bright light with direct sun or strong grow lights.

Soil: Use nutrient-poor carnivorous plant media, such as peat-based media with perlite or sand. Do not use regular potting soil or fertilizer.

Pet safety: Sundews are generally considered non-toxic, but they should not be eaten or handled excessively.
