{"title":"Drosera (Sundew)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrosera, commonly known as Sundews, are one of the largest and most diverse groups of carnivorous plants in the world. Found on every continent except Antarctica, these remarkable plants have evolved specialised leaves covered in glistening glandular tentacles that attract, trap, and digest insects. Their jewel-like appearance and fascinating carnivorous behaviour have made them some of the most popular plants among both beginners and experienced collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sparkling droplets that cover a Sundew's leaves are not dew, but a sticky mucilage produced by specialised glands. Insects attracted by the glistening appearance become trapped on the leaf surface, where additional tentacles slowly bend towards the prey. Digestive enzymes then break down the captured insect, allowing the plant to absorb valuable nutrients that are often lacking in the nutrient-poor soils where Sundews naturally occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Grow Sundews?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSundews are among the easiest carnivorous plants to grow and are available in an extraordinary range of forms. Some species form tiny rosettes only a few millimetres across, while others produce climbing stems, underground tubers, or sprawling tropical growth. Their diversity means there is a suitable species for almost every growing environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany Drosera species grow rapidly, flower readily, and produce large numbers of seeds or offsets, making them highly rewarding plants for beginners. Their ability to catch fungus gnats, fruit flies, and other small insects also makes them popular as functional indoor plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Drosera in Australia\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost Sundews thrive in bright conditions and require mineral-free water such as rainwater, distilled water, or reverse osmosis (RO) water. The growing medium should remain consistently moist, typically consisting of nutrient-poor materials such as peat moss and silica sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight requirements vary between species, but most develop stronger colours and heavier dew production under bright light. Many Australian species flourish outdoors in suitable climates, while tropical species often perform exceptionally well on windowsills, under grow lights, or in terrariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the genus occupies an enormous geographic range, cultivation requirements differ between groups. Tropical species generally grow year-round, while many temperate species enter winter dormancy. Australian tuberous and pygmy Sundews have their own unique seasonal growth cycles that mirror the conditions of their natural habitats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn Extraordinary Diversity of Carnivorous Plants\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith more than 250 recognised species, Drosera is one of the most species-rich carnivorous plant genera.

Commonly known as the Round-leaved Sundew, it is one of the most widespread carnivorous plants in the world, occurring across Europe, Asia and North America. The species was formally described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 and has long served as one of the best-known representatives of the genus \u003cem\u003eDrosera\u003c\/em\u003e. It inhabits nutrient-poor sphagnum bogs, peatlands and wet heath environments where its carnivorous adaptations allow it to supplement nutrition through insect capture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis species forms a compact basal rosette of distinctive rounded leaves borne on slender petioles. Each leaf is densely covered with glandular tentacles tipped with glistening mucilage droplets that resemble dew in sunlight. These sticky secretions attract and trap small insects, while surrounding tentacles gradually curl inward to increase contact with captured prey. During the growing season, plants produce delicate white flowers on tall, slender scapes that elevate the blooms well above the trapping foliage. Foliage colouration ranges from bright green to deep red depending on light intensity, with plants often developing particularly vibrant pigmentation under strong illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDrosera rotundifolia\u003c\/em\u003e is notable for its exceptional cold tolerance and broad natural distribution. Unlike tropical sundews, it undergoes a pronounced winter dormancy and survives unfavourable conditions by forming a compact resting bud known as a hibernaculum. This adaptation allows the species to persist in regions experiencing prolonged freezing temperatures. Its ecological significance, ease of recognition and important role in carnivorous plant research have made it a cornerstone species for both botanical collections and conservation efforts. Seed-grown plants remain remarkably consistent in appearance, making the species highly valued by growers interested in temperate carnivorous plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Europe, Asia and North America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscoverer \/ Authority:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carl Linnaeus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear Described:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar Registration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not applicable (natural species)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Temperate carnivorous perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drosera\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e rotundifolia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact rosette-forming sundew\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrap Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flypaper trap with glandular tentacles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e White flowers on tall scapes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDormancy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter dormancy required; forms a hibernaculum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seed, division and tissue culture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e One or More healthy \u003cem\u003eDrosera rotundifolia\u003c\/em\u003e growing in its nursery container.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nano Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Transition Cup (1+ Plant)","offer_id":45356177031305,"sku":"DROS-3410-TR","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gel Cup (3+ Plants)","offer_id":46937573687433,"sku":"DROS-9052-GE","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/9623\/4377\/files\/Drosera_Rotundifora.png?v=1773054933"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/9623\/4377\/collections\/Allantostigma2.png?v=1781339733","url":"https:\/\/www.nanonursery.com.au\/collections\/drosera-sundew.oembed?page=2","provider":"Nano Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
