Maintenance of Drosera binata Drosera Mount Ruapehu

Drosera and watering

Use only rainwater, demineralized water, or reverse osmosis water. Water that is too hard (high in calcium) will cause the plant to wither within a few weeks. Do not use bottled water, as it generally contains too many salts, which are harmful to the plant. In summer, place the plant in a large saucer with water constantly.
In winter, keep the substrate moist without leaving the plant with its roots in water.

Temperature and Drosera

Up to 30°C in summer and from 0 to 15°C in winter.

Substrate for Drosera Drosera binata Mount Ruapehu

Carnivorous plant mix is the basic substrate for many species; you can make it yourself by mixing blonde peat , perlite , and vermiculite (4:1:1:1 ratio), or blonde peat and non-calcareous aquarium sand (2:1:1 ratio). Sphagnum moss is also suitable.

Exhibition for Drosera

For optimal growth, bright light is necessary. Drosera prefer partial shade , or full sun in the early morning or late afternoon. From spring to autumn, they grow by producing new leaves. In winter, if you cannot leave outdoors the species that need a cool winter dormancy, place them in a cool room under artificial light .

Fertilizer for Drosera

Absolutely forbidden! Plants provide for their own needs for organic nutrients thanks to their traps.
