Drosera spatulata
Drosera spatulata, commonly known as the spoon-leaved sundew, is a small, rosette-forming carnivorous plant found throughout Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. This species is one of the hardiest and most adaptable members of the Drosera genus, making it ideal for both beginner and advanced carnivorous plant enthusiasts. It features spatula-shaped leaves covered with glandular tentacles that secrete sticky mucilage to capture and digest insects. The nutrients obtained supplement the plant’s survival in nutrient-poor, acidic soils.
The plant forms low-growing rosettes 2–5 cm in diameter, though size can vary by variety. It has a moderate to fast growth rate, particularly under bright light and high humidity. The leaves may turn reddish under intense lighting, enhancing its ornamental appeal.
