Drosera rotundifolia (Round-Leaved Sundew) - Tissue Culture

The Drosera rotundifolia, commonly known as the Round-Leaved Sundew, is a fascinating carnivorous plant that thrives in humid, nutrient-poor environments. With its signature round leaves covered in glistening, sticky tentacles, this plant captures and digests small insects, providing a natural method of nutrient intake. This species is an excellent choice for terrariums, paludariums, and dedicated carnivorous plant setups.

Grown in sterile tissue culture, this specimen is 100% pest-free, disease-free, and algae-free, ensuring a clean and healthy start for your plant. Tissue-cultured plants arrive with strong, young growth and adapt quickly to new environments.

Features We Love:

• Insect-Trapping Tentacles – Produces glistening, sticky mucilage to capture and digest small prey.
• Perfect for Carnivorous Plant Setups – Thrives in high humidity and nutrient-poor soil.
• Low Maintenance & Hardy – Requires minimal care once established in a proper environment.
• Great for Terrariums & Paludariums – Adds a unique, functional element to humid enclosures.

Care Guidelines:

• Light: Bright, direct, or high-intensity artificial lighting.
• Temperature: 50° - 80° F (10° - 27° C).
• Humidity: High humidity (70%+ preferred).
• Soil: Nutrient-poor, acidic soil (peat moss and perlite mix).
• Watering: Use only distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water—avoid tap water. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.

Pro Tips:

• Acclimate Slowly – Tissue-cultured plants need a gradual transition from high humidity to normal conditions.
• Avoid Fertilizers – Sundews obtain nutrients from insects and do not require standard plant fertilizers.
• Encourage Dew Production – Bright light and high humidity promote the production of sticky, insect-catching droplets.
• Dormancy Awareness – This species may enter dormancy in cooler months, during which growth slows, and leaves may die back.
