It is prized for its adaptability to different environmental conditions, making it one of the easiest sundews to cultivate. The plant forms low leaf rosettes with a diameter of up to 5 cm and individual spoon-shaped leaves. Each leaf is covered with red, sticky hairs (tentacles) that secrete a sweet substance that attracts insects. Once an insect is caught, the leaves slowly curl up and begin digestion.Drosera spatulata is an excellent choice for beginners interested in insectivorous plants. Due to its small size and ease of cultivation, it is ideal for growing in terrariums or WabiKusa jars.size: The rosettes are rather small with a final diameter of 5cm.
