What Makes ‘Marston Dragon’ Special?

• Variety: Drosera Binata cultivar ‘Marston Dragon’ (crossed from Drosera binata var. multifida extrema x binata var. dichotoma)
• Appearance: Large growing, multi-branched leaves with 6-8+ tips, deep green with red dewy glands that deepen to maroon in full sun
• Perfect for Collectors: This is not your average forkleaf sundew – it's a bold, exotic carnivorous plant that’s sure to impress!

Choose the Size that Fits Your Growing Style

Whether you're looking for a young plant to nurture or a larger, near-flowering beauty, we've got you covered! We offer 'Marston Dragon' in various sizes, and in most cases, these are sent bareroot for safer shipping, which helps prevent damage during transit. When ordering bareroot, you’ll need to pot it up yourself using our carnivorous plant soil and your own pot – both of which are available on our website

Care Guide - Keeping Your Sundew Thriving

Drosera Binata ‘Marston Dragon’ is easy to care for with a few basics. Here’s what you need to know to keep it healthy:

• Sunlight: Grow your plant outdoors in full sun for strong growth and vibrant colours
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist using mineral-free water, but avoid waterlogging. Distilled or rainwater works best
• Maintenance: Trim any dead foliage for a tidier look and remove flower stalks if you want to grow a bigger plant faster and with tons of sticky dew
• Dormancy: Drosera Binata goes dormant in winter. During this time, reduce watering slightly – just keep the soil a bit damp. Fresh growth will appear in spring (October-November)
• Repotting: For best results, repot into fresh carnivorous plant soil each year during winter dormancy to keep the soil nutrient-free and support healthy growth

Quick FAQ

Why Pargo and not PUDO?

We partner with Pargo because it’s part of our approved fragile-goods courier network. Parcels are kept indoors at local shops and businesses, protected from heat, sunlight and weather until collection — ideal if you prefer to collect at your convenience or aren’t home during the day.

To keep every order safe and uphold our Arrive-Alive Guarantee, we deliver only via Pargo and other approved delivery services trusted for handling fragile and temperature-sensitive items.

• 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!
