Carnivorous plant - Drosera spatulatasupplied in an in vitro cupVery adaptable and easy to keeprosette diameter 5cmfull sunlighthumidity: 50-70%the optimum temperature range is 15-25 °CPink or white flowersDrosera spatulata, also known as spoon-shaped sundew, is a small, perennial, insectivorous plant found in Asia, Australia and New Zealand. 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. Flowers: The flowers are pink or white and grow on an approx. 20cm long flower stalk.Light: Drosera spatulata requires full sun or bright, diffused light for most of the day. Provide at least 12 hours of light.Substrate: The ideal substrate for Drosera spatulata is a mixture of sphagnum peat and sand or perlite in a 1:1 ratio. The substrate should be acidic (pH 4.5-5.5) and well-drained. The spoon-leaved sundew requires constant moisture in the substrate. It is best watered with distilled, demineralized or rainwater, although tap water should be avoided. The substrate should be moist but not flooded. Feeding/ fertilizing: The sundew does not require additional fertilization as it absorbs the nutrients from the insects it catches. Occasionally you can feed the plant with small insects such as fruit flies.Humidity: This plant prefers high humidity, although it can also adapt to drier conditions. It is recommended to maintain a humidity of 50-70%.Temperature:The spoon-leaved sundew can tolerate a range of temperatures, but grows best in moderate conditions.
