Unit price perDrosera venusta is an easy, South African, rosetted sundew that is semi upright. It has pink flowers on tall scapes and reseeds readily. This is from a specific site location.
Sun: Full sun indoors, in a terrarium, or outdoors if you live in a nearly frost-free climate. If grown under grow lights, the lights should be on a 10-12 hour day length 6-10” above the plants, depending on the strength of your lights. If your plant does not have dew, it may need more light.
Water & Humidity: Always keep the pot sitting in at least two inches of distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. These plants will do best with a humidity of 60% or more.
Temperature & Dormancy: 50 degrees—90 degrees, with high humidity. This species has no winter dormancy but may grow more slowly in winter if exposed to cooler temperatures and shorter photoperiods. This is a tropical plant and can not tolerate cold temperatures. Never expose it to anything below 40 degrees.
Soil & Repotting: We prefer a mix of four-part fertilizer-free peat moss to one-part perlite. You can add our pre-made mix to your order here. You do not need to repot your plant when you receive it from us for at least a year, and we recommend against it during the spring-summer months. Repot Drosera every 1-3 years. Avoid placing in excessively large pots; size up only a few inches at a time, but they appreciate tall pots. Soil can also develop a swampy smell, especially right after shipping, when the plant is wrapped in plastic and sealed. This is normal; these plants grow naturally in bogs and swampy conditions, and peat moss can develop a bit of an anaerobic smell, but this does not indicate a problem with the soil.
Feeding and Fertilizer: Drosera will catch plenty of food when grown outdoors. When grown indoors, they will significantly benefit from a foliar fertilizer. Plants grown outdoors will appreciate a foliar feed as well. Apply MaxSea fertilizer once per month to the foliage only. Dilute 1/4 teaspoon of MaxSea into one gallon of water and then apply to the leaves with a mister bottle or a watering can.
