Sundew, Drosera venusta 'alba'

Discover the Beauty of Sundew, Drosera venusta 'alba'

Introduce a touch of nature's artistry to your collection with the Drosera venusta 'alba', a mesmerizing winter-growing sundew native to South Africa. This exquisite plant boasts:

• Unique All-Green Appearance: Unlike its colorful relatives, the 'alba' variety features striking green leaves devoid of red pigment, accented by an enchanting layer of sticky glandular hairs that glisten in the light.
• Ideal Growing Conditions: While adaptable to indoor settings, this sundew thrives in full sun to semi-shade outdoors. Ensure your potted plants are nestled in a 1-3 cm deep saucer of fresh water to maintain optimal moisture levels.
• Sunlight Preference: For indoor growth, position your plant facing north or east to maximize sunlight exposure, ensuring it flourishes.
• Low Maintenance Care: Keep an eye out for pests such as aphids and mealybugs. Treat any infestations with appropriate pesticides (diluted as per instructions) or remove pests manually, avoiding soap-based insecticides.
• Resilience and Recovery: Should the leaves droop from drying out, a generous watering will revive your sundew, restoring its mucilage and vigor.
• Gentle Handling: Exercise care when handling the leaves, as touching can temporarily halt dew production. Fear not—new leaves will soon spring forth, ready to dazzle.
