Sundew - Drosera adelae 'Giant'

The 'Giant' cultivar is specifically selected for its larger leaf structure and overall size compared to the typical species. It maintains the same characteristic dew-covered tentacles but offers a more substantial, dramatic presence in a collection.

Drosera adelae thrives in high humidity and requires consistently moist, nutrient-poor soil. It is best suited for terrarium environments or areas where you can strictly maintain these moisture levels.

While it is a carnivorous plant that will naturally trap small insects, it does not strictly require supplemental feeding to survive. If kept in an indoor environment without access to insects, you can occasionally provide small prey, but the plant primarily relies on light and moisture.

The toxicity of Drosera adelae to pets is currently unknown. As a precaution, it is best to keep this plant in a secure terrarium or an area inaccessible to curious pets.

Carnivorous plants like this sundew require nutrient-poor, acidic soil. A mixture of peat moss and perlite or long-fibered sphagnum moss is typically recommended to ensure proper drainage and the correct chemical balance.
