A Drosera carnivorous plant, that has proved very efficient at hunting fruit flies and mosquitoes

I’ve never seen this carnivorous plant before! I just ordered one for my sunroom that gets moisture gnats. Excited to see how it does 😀
I think you’ll love it. Remember to keep it on a plate with water!
Oh thank you for the tip! So it should stay within some water 24/7? Is it ok if it’s in a pot with mostly peat moss too?
In winter I don’t think it needs the plate but the soil should be kept damp. So far mine has been with a few milliliters of water 24/7 and it looks happy.
I have no idea about peat moss, sorry. I know there’s special soil for carnivorous plants, very poor on nutrients, but my plant is still in the soil the shop gave it
Oh perfect, this helps a lot! Thank you 😊
Beautiful plant. I just ordered one to complement my VFT.
I have 3-4 of them to control fruit flies and fungus mats. They do an excellent job.
Do you grow flies to feed it, or are you in a buggy area?
I live in a buggy area, there are fruit flies everywhere
Someone in another thread with a similar plant says not to feed them anyway. Looks great! I love sundews and related plants!
I haven’t fed mine lol. Even if it were a particularly useless hunter, with the amount of flies we have here, inevitably some would fall into it.
Love this! Might have to get one!
