Common Name: Round Leaf Sundew
Drosera Rotundifolia is a carnivorous sundew plant that can be found growing in bogs or marshes. The sugary mucilage on the tips of the leaves attract insects which the plant feeds on. This makes Drosera Rotundifolia a great addition to any terrarium or paludarium. Make sure to keep humidity high and never fully submerge the plant.
Drosera Rotundifolia, more commonly known as the sundew plant, is a perennial that goes dormant in winter. During its dormancy period, it does best in cool temperatures (between 32-50°F/1-10°C), moist conditions, and some light. It’s normal for the leaves to drop during this time, and the plant will grow new ones once it wakes up again in spring. So if you’re looking for a low-maintenance plant that doesn’t require much attention during the colder months, a sundew plant is a great option.
