Description
Drosera yilgarnensis was previously known as the Western Australian form of D. peltata. This sundew grows upright, reaching about 25 cm (10 inches) tall, with stems and leaves that vary in color from a bright yellowish-green to a deep red-maroon.
Before the tall stem appears later in the season, the plant always starts by growing a lush "rosette"—a circle of leaves flat against the ground. Below the surface, it grows from a distinct red tuber. If you look closely at the flower parts (the sepals), you'll notice they vary quite a bit; some are smooth, while others are covered in tiny glands or have fringed, feathery edges.
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.
| Water | Start adding water in colder months (around September) and keep it sitting in water until it gets brown then reduce water and let it dry. Add small amounts of water during summer and repeat the process. Use distilled, R/O, or rain water only. |
| Sun | This plant likes a lot of sun, so try to give it as much as possible. |
| Dormancy | Dormancy gets trigger by warmer months, this is usually in spring and plant comes back around fall, so do NOT throw your plant away, it is just in dormancy. |
| Media | Peat moss and sand. |
| Temperature | Temperatures above 78° can trigger dormancy, keep them cool with lots of light. |
