About 10 Hardy Sundew Seeds - Carnivorous Plant,Drosera
Daikon RadishPress to translate Listing Translator by Hindi Portuguese Thai Korean French Chinese Spanish Arabic Japanese German Russian ItalianDrosera rotundifolia — the round-leaved sundew or common sundew — is a species of sundew, a carnivorous plant often found in bogs, marshes and fens.Drosera rotundifolia, the Round Leaf Sundews, is found in all continents in the Northern hemisphere, it is circumboreal. This is a perenial which can reach 35 cm, 14 inches. The leaves are edged with long hairs, each with a sticky drop on the end of the hair. Hairs are red in colour. Leaves can be as wide as 1 cm. Each leaf is entire, circular, covered with sticky, shinny, red tentacles. This Drosera develops small white flowers on 3 long flower stems in Summer. The flowers have 5 regular parts and are up to 7 mm wide. They are white sometimes pink. Blooms first appear in early Summer and continue into mid Fall. The plants eat small insects to provide them with the azote which is lacking where it lives. When an insect becomes entangled in the hairs, the leaves bend inwards so that the insect comes into contact with fine, inner hairs. Enzymes are produced by the hairs which dissolve the insect, which is then absorbed by the leaf. Only the insect's exoskeleton remains which blows away when the leaf hairs uncurl to become erect again, ready for the next meal. Hardiness zone 3-8, (-37°C/-35°F, -10°C/-15°F) in Winter. They should be grown in bright light, but with protection from full midday sun. In cloudy coastal areas, artificial light is a required. They like cool temperatures. Temperatures should be kept between 20°C/68°F, 25°C / 80°F in growing season. They require seasons in order to survive long term. They need a dormant period of about 3 months in the Winter. In the Winter, when food is scarce the leaves die back to form a tight resting bud. The typical heated home is too warm in the Winter. DuExported By ExportYourStore
