Drosera x "Lotus Eater" Potted
We are so happy to be offering this killer cape sundew! It truly is a giant amongst wide leaf plants! ‘Hercules’ is stunning but is a compact plant, whereas “Lotus Eater” has large size and super wide leaves! This plant was created by Frank Obregon, a great friend to the nursery and wonderful carnivorous plant grower (be sure to checkout his ICPS article on growing Roridula!)

Customer Reviews
Was half dead when it came. Tried watering and sunning it but neither worked. Hopefully it’s just dormant. All other plant in the order were great.
I've never been very good and keeping plants alive, but the information from this site made it simple and fun. I ordered this drosera back in May and it totally took care of the late spring/early summer gnats and fruit flies that plague our neighborhood every year. Not exaggerating.
Side note: I've never seen a plant "chain-bloom" 31 flowers on the same stem before.
This arrived in perfect condition! Boy are they happy eaters! They are always covered in flies and knats!
Packaged very well and healthy plant!
The plant is even more beautiful than pictured.
