Drosera nidiformis is a beautiful tropical sundew that grows forming a rosette with green leaves and dewy red ‘hairs.’ If given bright, indirect light it will develop a lovely red/orange coloration. Try to keep the media moist, occasionally letting the the soil dry out a bit more if you’re experiencing problems with fungus. This carnivorous plant is wonderful at capturing gnats, fruit flies and mosquitoes! Great for beginners, this plant is an easy, small windowsill grower. Drosera nidiformis will produce a flower stalk that reaches high above the foliage consisting of several lovely pink/purple flowers.
We recommend planting this plug in our Drosera soil.
***IMPORTANT NOTE:
This plant ships as a 2″ fully rooted starter plant.
