Drosera Filiformis - Thread leaved sundew

These Sundew capture small and large prey on the dew they produce on their long unfurling leaves. These plants are north American native, east coast. They require plenty of light and sit in (rain, distilled or R.O.) water, like our Venus Flytraps. 

Can be sold when it's first coming out of dormancy. 

 

Or for only $6 more, you can purchase our large sized Filiformis roughly 3x this size:

Your plant resides within a 3" pot with a velvety layer of either New Zealand Long Fiber Sphagnum Moss or a silky Peat/perlite/sand mixture in water tray with care tag. You may also receive stickers and other possibly shameless self promotional materials.


Filiformis Sundew Instructions

Light 
Full sun, minimum of 6-10 hours of direct sunlight outdoors. Indoors under lights you'll need 10-12 hours of light. If on a windowsill, East-facing in the summer, South-facing in the winter. Would benefit from supplemental lights when on a windowsill. 

Water
Sit in 1 inch of water using a plastic or fully sealed ceramic dish. Use distilled, reverse osmosis or rain water. 

Soil 
General carnivorous plant soil mix will do but prefer a more sandy mix. 
1 part peat, 2 parts perlite, 1 part sand. 

Temperature
Try to keep between 40°- 95°F
They can tolerate a short freezes. 
Ours have even gone down to 17°F and survived.

Dormancy 
Filiformis leaves will die off in the late fall and form a hibernaculum for the winter. It looks like a small, scaled, ball. In the spring the leaves will unfurl again. 

Notes
1/4 strength maxsea fertilizer can be used as a foliar spray. 
You can also feed any indoor plants bloodworms or other insects. 
When outdoors they can feed themselves.
