Drosera Adelae "Giant" - Lance Leaf Sundew, Live Carnivorous Plant

Sundews attract and capture insects with their adhesive leaves, breaking down and digesting their bodies for vital nutrients. Drosera adelae is one of the famous three sisters of Queensland. Drosera adelae is also known as the lance leaf sundew for its sword shaped leaves. This particular 'Giant' form can get larger than your typical Drosera adelae.

Your purchase includes 1 medium-size bareroot plant, securely wrapped in damp paper towels, along with comprehensive care instructions. Keep in mind that these plants are very easy to grow, but do have certain care requirements that need to be tended to in order to keep the plant healthy.
