Drosera nidiformis
The Drosera nidiformis is a stunning and efficient carnivorous plant native to South Africa. Its long, slender leaves are coated with glandular hairs that exude glistening, sticky droplets to trap and digest unsuspecting insects. This fascinating sundew thrives in bright, indirect light and high-humidity environments, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts.
Key Features:
- Trap Mechanism: Sticky glandular hairs capture prey for nutrients.
- Appearance: Rosette of spoon-shaped leaves with red or pink glands.
- Growth: Fast-growing under the right conditions.
- Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight or artificial grow lights.
- Soil: Best suited to nutrient-poor, well-draining substrates like peat moss and perlite.
- Water: Requires consistently moist soil with distilled or rainwater.
Care Tips:
Maintain a humid environment and avoid feeding with fertilizers. Let the plant naturally capture insects as part of its diet. Drosera nidiformis also appreciates occasional dormancy in cooler months
