Description
Drosera atrostyla is a rare South African sundew prized for its elegant, sticky leaves that sparkle with dew-like droplets used to trap small insects. This carnivorous plant thrives in bright light, consistently moist, nutrient-poor soil, and pure water (rain, distilled, or RO only). Ideal for collectors and sundew enthusiasts, it’s a fascinating and easy-to-grow species when given the right conditions.
Please read: You'll get 1 potted plant that is just emerging from dormancy, so it will be small. Please keep that in mind when ordering.
