Product Details
Description
- Species: Drosera
- Drosera Collinsiae is a striking, rosetted sundew from Swaziland. This subtropical sundew is a vigorous grower and can do well for beginner growers if it is provided with proper conditions. There are 2 main forms that look slightly different, but they are both just as easy to grow
- The Collins sundew can get rather wide in diameter at maturity, sometimes up to 5cm across. As with all subtropical sundews, Drosera collinsiae will appreciate very bright light and mild temperatures (never freezing) to grow well. Protect from heat during the hottest months and water only with distilled water to prevent humic acid build up on the crown of the plant
- Each tentacle has a small droplet of glistening mucilage. Insects become stuck to the tentacles and are then digested by the plant
- These sticky bug-munching rosettes come highly recommended to new growers
- Whether you prefer starting off with a younger plant and watch it grow into full majestic glory over the years or jumping in with more munch, right from the get go, we've got you covered! Cultivo is all about choices and our plants are available in various sizes and options to suit your every need. These are medium-sized plants with very fragile roots and do not transplant well. For this reason they will be sent already potted in our deluxe carnivorous plant soil. Simply unwrap, water and enjoy!
Care
- Similar to Drosera Admirabilis, D. Collinsiae can be finicky about water quality and prefers distilled- or reverse osmosis water to limit humic acid buildup on the crown of the plant
- Drosera Collinsiae, being a subtropical sundew, does not need a dormancy period and will grow throughout the year - in fact it might die back slightly during the hot summer months, and be happier during the cooler months and may even flower during winter and spring
- Flowering requires a lot of energy and might cause your plant to lose it's dew - remove flower stalks when they emerge for a healthier, dewy plant
- Choosing a selection results in a full page refresh.
