Drosera binata, Fork-leafed Sundew
$12.99
In stock
This Drosera has single fork leafed stems. It is unique among sundews in having narrow, branching leaves. Small insects that are trapped on the sticky tentacles become slowly digested, providing nutrients to the plant. Drosera binata is found primarily in sandy marshes of southern and eastern Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand. All Drosera binata forms go through a period of dormancy. They are warm temperate plants and will either seasonally go dormant if under natural light or occasionally go dormant if under artificial light. During dormancy the plants stop producing new leaves and effectively die back to the ground.
We recommend planting this plug in our Drosera soil.
***IMPORTANT NOTE:
This plant ships as a 2″ fully rooted starter plant.
