Drosera peltata 'Pink Flower' {Kandos, NSW, Australia}

Drosera peltata 'Pink Flower' {Kandos, NSW, Australia} Winter-Growing Sundew A Fascinating Australian Tuberous Sundew with Sparkling Dew-Covered Traps and Beautiful Pink Flowers! 🌱💗 Introducing Drosera peltata 'Pink Flower' {Kandos, NSW}, a beautiful and fascinating winter-growing carnivorous plant native to Australia. This particular form originates from Kandos, New South Wales, and is especially desirable for its delicate pink flowers and unique growth habit. Unlike most commonly grown sundews, Drosera peltata is a tuberous Drosera, meaning it grows actively during the cooler months and retreats underground into a small tuber during the hot, dry summer months. During its early growth stage, this little beauty produces charming, bright green, rounded traps covered in sparkling, sticky tentacles. Each leaf resembles a tiny jewel, glistening with droplets of digestive mucilage that help capture small insects. As the plant matures during its growing season, it can develop an upright, climbing stem with beautiful shield-shaped carnivorous leaves, creating a completely different appearance from its initial rosette stage. And the best part? This particular locality form is known for producing lovely pink flowers, adding another beautiful feature to an already fascinating carnivorous plant! 🌸 A wonderful addition for collectors who appreciate Australian tuberous Drosera, seasonal growth patterns, and unique carnivorous plants! 🌱 Plant Size & What You'll Receive You will receive one Drosera peltata 'Pink Flower' {Kandos, NSW}, similar to the plants shown in the photographs.

Unlike tropical sundews, Drosera peltata follows a seasonal growth cycle and requires different watering conditions throughout the year. 🌤️ Light: Provide bright light or strong grow lights during active growth. 🌡️ Temperature: Prefers cool to mild temperatures during its winter-growing season. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat while actively growing. 💧 Watering: Keep the growing medium consistently moist during active growth, using only distilled, reverse-osmosis, or rainwater. ☀️ Summer Dormancy: As temperatures rise and the plant naturally begins to die back, gradually reduce watering. Once fully dormant, keep the tuber in a barely moist to relatively dry medium, avoiding prolonged waterlogging. 🌱 Awakening: When cooler autumn temperatures return, gradually increase moisture as the plant begins its new growth cycle. IMPORTANT: Excessive heat and inappropriate watering during the growing season can stress or kill these plants. Likewise, keeping dormant tubers constantly wet during summer may cause rot. We recommend this species for growers who are familiar with seasonal carnivorous plants or are willing to learn about the unique growing requirements of tuberous Drosera. 📦 Shipping Information Your Drosera will be carefully packaged to help protect it during transit.
