Description de la plante carnivore
Drosera rotundifolia (Round-leaved Drosera) is a species that can be found in various regions of France, but it is mainly observed in mountain areas as well as in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, notably in South America. North, Europe and Asia. The leaves of Drosera rotundifolia are usually green, sometimes with reddish undertones, and the glandular tentacles on the leaves can be bright red when exposed to sunlight.
Maintenance tips :
Temperature: Between 15°C and 40°C, can withstand freezing temperatures down to -10°C, but only for short periods with positive daytime temperatures.Water: Always immerse the pot to approximately 70% of its height in rain, demineralized or osmosis water.
Light: Full sun or near a sunny window to ensure optimal growth. If natural light is insufficient, consider using suitable artificial lighting, including LEDs.
Dormancy: Requires a period of dormancy from September until the end of February and beginning of March depending on the region. All leaves will turn brown-black and die to leave a hibernaculum during this time. Leave them outside in full sun, always in a soggy substrate.
