Drosera Scorpioides Carnivorous Fly Trap Plant 11cm

Drosera Scorpioides is a carnivorous plant that has evolved unique adaptations to capture and digest insects. Its spoon-shaped leaves are covered in sticky glandular hairs, which trap insects that come into contact with them.

The sticky droplets on the leaves not only capture insects but also emit a sweet scent that lures them in. Once an insect is caught, the plant's digestive enzymes break it down to extract essential nutrients.

Light: Provide your Drosera Scorpiodes with bright, indirect sunlight. It's essential for healthy growth.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist. Use distilled or rainwater to avoid mineral buildup, and water from the bottom to prevent disturbing the sticky leaves.

Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity levels around the plant, especially if you're growing it indoors. Consider using a humidity tray or a room humidifier.

Temperature: Drosera Scorpiodes prefers moderate temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Avoid exposing it to extreme heat or cold.

Feeding: While it naturally captures insects, you can supplement its diet by placing it outdoors to catch insects. Avoid feeding it non-insect food.

Toxicity: Drosera Scorpiodes is not toxic to humans or pets. It's safe to have in your living space.

Origin: Native to Australia, this unique sundew is a fascinating addition to your collection of carnivorous plants, offering a glimpse into the diverse plant life of the Australian wilderness.
