Description

• Species: Drosera
• Drosera Binata, originating from Australia, grows long stems with forked leaves
• These leaves give Drosera Binata the nickname fork-leaved sundew 
• The giant form of Drosera binata var Dichotoma form usually develops 4 branches even from a young age
• Plants generally stay greenish, even in very bright light and grows approximately 30-35 cm tall with monstrous heads - Tentacles may get heavy and start drooping, making this an excellent candidate for hanging baskets with only a few drainage holes
• Each tentacle has a small droplet of glistening mucilage. Insects become stuck to the tentacles and are then digested by the plant
• Once mature, Drosera binata var dichotoma f. pedata (Giant form) will produce tall, vertical stems with clusters of white flowers

Care

• Remove dead foliage for a neater plant
• 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
• Drosera Binata will enter dormancy during winter (cooler temperatures and a shorter daylight period)
• During the dormancy period the plant will die back to a single winter bud and new growth will emerge late spring - usually around end-September / October
• While dormant - water your plant less frequently (keep the growing media only damp) to prevent root rot

• Just a quick heads-up: Since plants are natural products, you might notice some slight variations when unboxing your plants
• We do our best to make sure the plants you receive look like the ones in the photos, but keep in mind that seasons change and plants grow. Some leaves might age and die off, new ones might sprout and the plants may look a bit different over time
• Cultivo is a boutique-style store and 99% of what we sell are one-of-a-kind collector items, so you will receive the exact plant pictured. Some are once-off or limited releases, which means they are available only while stocks last. The labels are spot on, so even if the plant looks a bit different, we 100% guarantee it’s the real deal
• Also, all the photos you see are of our own plants unless we mention otherwise. We update images occasionally to keep things fresh. If you want to see updated pictures before you buy, just let us know - we’re happy to help!
