This carnivorous plant is part of the so-called " miniature " Drosera , whose adult size does not exceed a few centimeters, originating from Australia .
Drosera paleacea produces circular leaf blades covered with mucilage for capture, carried at the end of short petioles. The heart of the plant develops protective hairs whose length can reach that of the petioles themselves. Numerous white flowers.
In winter, the plant produces propagules (gems) which can be replanted to obtain other plants.

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.
Up to 30°C in summer and 0 to 15°C in winter.
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.
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 .
To be totally avoided! Plants provide for their own organic nutrient needs through their traps.
