Description
- Species: Drosera
- Drosera Venusta, sometimes referred to as the Elegant Sundew, is a very impressive-looking specimen
- Its large size, orange-red colouration in bright light and broad semi-erect leaves puts it one step side-ways from other rosetted sundews.
- D. Venusta is a rosetted sundew that originates from the subtropical climate of our very own South Africa
- As a vigorous and easy-growing sundew, Drosera venusta makes a great plant for the beginner to expert sundew enthusiast
- Produces pink flowers
Care
- Similar to Drosera Coccicaulis, D. Venusta prefers slightly cooler temperatures especially during the hot summer months (December / January)
- 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
