Drosera binata

€10.00
VAT included

This sundew is very particular in its general appearance, it reaches up to 40 cm in height, the most impressive of which are its leaves which we would tend to call branches as they resemble the base of a shrub when seen from the side.

The top of the leaves ends with a fork characteristic of the species, this is where the traps are found. This carnivorous plant is native to Oceania (Australia, New Zealand) . The flower stem exceeds 50 cm in height and has pretty white flowers.

This carnivorous plant has the particularity of going dormant at the end of summer. From September to March, a simple bud remains on the surface of the substrate, then cut off the dead leaves.

We start shipping the plant again as soon as the first young shoots of the year appear, which demonstrate the survival of Drosera binata through winter.

Maintenance of Drosera binata

Sundew and watering

Use only rainwater, demineralized or osmosis . Water that is too hard will cause the plant to die in a few weeks. Do not use bottled water, it generally contains too much salt, which is harmful to the plant. In summer, place the plant in a large saucer with water at all times.
In winter, keep the substrate moist without leaving the plant with its feet in water.

Temperature and Drosera

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

Substrate for Drosera binata

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

Exhibition for Drosera

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

Fertilizer for Drosera

To be totally avoided! Plants provide for their own organic nutrient needs through their traps.
