This Drosera has long, sword-shaped leaves. Tentacle movement in this species, unlike other Drosera, is minimal and slow to the point of being barely noticeable. Small insects that are trapped on the sticky tentacles become slowly digested, providing nutrients to the plant They readily flower, producing tall stalks bearing many red, reddish orange, or cream colored flowers. Drosera adelae typically grows in the densely shaded margins of the northeastern Australian rainforests in sandy soils along creek banks or on wet rocks near waterfalls.
We recommend planting this plug in our Drosera soil.
***IMPORTANT NOTE:
This plant ships as a 2″ fully rooted starter plant.
