Drosera mannii (Pygmy Sundew)
Drosera mannii (Pygmy Sundew)
Drosera mannii is a miniature pygmy sundew from the south-west of Western Australia, where it grows in seasonally moist habitats among granite outcrops and lateritic soils. Forming compact rosettes just 1–3 cm across, this species produces spoon-shaped leaves covered in glistening mucilage-tipped tentacles that trap and digest small insects.
During the growing season, Drosera mannii develops delicate pink to white flowers held above the foliage on slender stems. Like many pygmy sundews, it reproduces through specialised vegetative propagules known as gemmae, which are produced in the centre of the rosette during cooler months and can be used to rapidly establish new plants.
Its tiny size, attractive sparkling foliage, and ease of propagation make Drosera mannii a highly desirable species for collectors of pygmy sundews and miniature carnivorous plants.
Origin: South-western Western Australia
Plant Type: Perennial pygmy sundew
Growth Habit: Compact rosette, 1–3 cm diameter
Flowers: Pink to white
Light: Bright light to full sun (minimum 5 hours direct sunlight recommended)
Water: Keep consistently moist using rainwater, distilled water, or reverse osmosis water
Growing Medium: Nutrient-poor carnivorous plant mix, such as peat and silica sand or perlite
Propagation: Produces gemmae during cooler months
What's Included: One healthy Drosera mannii growing in a Nano Nursery cup, ready to continue developing under suitable conditions.
A tissue culture plants are grown in clear gel, transparent container that holds multiple young plants (typically 3 or more) grown under laboratory conditions.
Our Gel Cup are non-sterile gel media that we use for start the hardening process after a plant has been in tissue culture.These vessels provide a carefully controlled environment, keeping the plants healthy as the get ready to transition to standard growing conditions.
Quick Hardening Steps:
- Open Lid Gradually: Slightly open the cup to slowly reduce humidity.
- Maintain Humidity: Gradually decrease humidity over 2–4 weeks.
- Indirect Light: Start with gentle, indirect lighting.
- Moist Soil: Keep media damp, never wet.
- Monitor Closely: Slowly increase airflow and light exposure.
Each transparent Transition Cup (5 cm diameter × 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant that has moved beyond sterile tissue culture and into a structured transition medium.
Inside, you’ll find a young carnivorous plant securely planted in a semi-solid blend designed to support root development while easing the shift from gel to soil.
This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity and airflow, helping reduce transplant shock and supporting the plant during this critical transition stage.
Suitable for both novice growers and experienced collectors, Transition Cups provide a reliable, low-stress way to guide delicate carnivorous plants toward successful soil establishment.
Each transparent carnivorous cup (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant freshly transitioned from tissue culture.
Inside, you'll find a young carnivorous plant planted securely in special growing media soil that replicates their natural habitat.
This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity, aiding the delicate plants during their crucial hardening-off stage.
Perfect for both novice growers and experienced collectors, these cups provide a simple and effective way to cultivate and enjoy captivating insect-eating plants.
