Species: Drosera
Drosera Spathulata x Ultramafica is a gorgeous easy growing, rosetted sundew. This is a vigorous grower and will do well for beginner growers if provided with proper conditions and produces pink flowers on tall scapes when mature
As with all subtropical sundews, Drosera Spathulata x Ultramafica will appreciate very bright light and mild temperatures (never freezing) to grow well. Distilled water is recommended
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!

Similar to other rosetted sundews, Drosera spathulata x ultramafica is finicky about water quality and prefers distilled- or reverse osmosis water to limit humic acid buildup on the crown of the plant
This plant, having subtropical parents, 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
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
