- Species: Drosera
- Drosera Aliciae, also known as the Alice Sundew, is a beautiful rosetted South African sundew. It is a subtropical sundew, and is one of the easiest sundews to grow in cultivation
- Plants can get large over time, with leaves around 4 cm long. They can easily reach 6-7cm across if given enough space
- 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 to near-flowering size 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. Aliciae is finicky about water quality and prefers distilled- or reverse osmosis water to limit humic acid buildup on the crown of the plant
- Drosera Aliciae, 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 - Cut flower stalks when they emerge for a healthier, dewy plant
