We are now offering Drosera! These little cuties are great for luring and consuming fungus gnats and fruit flies.
Lighting: Drosera require high light growing conditions. They want to be in a western or southern window. We grow ours under LED grow lights that we leave on for at least 13 hours a day.
Watering: Drosera need to be sitting in low mineral water at all times. Do not let them dry out; they will perish quickly.
Potting mix: The reason why carnivorous plants modified their leaves to consume insects is due to their growing conditions. They grow in nutrient poor soil. We use a mix of peat moss and perlite for substrate.
Temperatures: Drosera Hercules x self thrive as an indoor plant. In some warmer southern states may be able to grow them outdoors year round as long as the temperatures ranges between 80 degrees F during the day and not dipping below 40 degrees F at night.
We will ship this plant bare root wrapped in sphagnum moss via USPS priority mail. We typically ship orders out on Tuesdays.
