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

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

• Because Cultivo is a boutique-style store, most of our collector’s plants are one-of-a-kind “exact plant pictured” or limited seasonal releases. That means once they’re sold, they’re gone - so standard restock notifications aren’t practical here
• A few seasonal plants or variants of small-batch releases may return in the future. If that happens, we’ll update the original listing with new photos and details
