Drosera spatulata ‘Rouge’
Drosera spatulata ‘Rouge’ is a compact sundew selected for its strong red colouration. The spoon-shaped leaves form a low rosette and are covered in sticky, glistening tentacles used to trap small insects.
This clone develops its best colour under bright light and consistent growing conditions. Like other sundews, it relies on insects for supplemental nutrition and should be grown in nutrient-poor media.
Care
- Light: Bright light to full sun. Strong light encourages compact growth and red colouration.
- Water: Keep constantly moist. Stand the pot in rainwater, distilled, or reverse-osmosis water.
- Humidity: Average to high humidity. Adapts well to indoor growing with good light.
- Temperature: Warm to intermediate conditions. Generally tolerant and easy to grow.
- Growing media: Carnivorous plant mix such as peat and sand, or sphagnum-based media. Never use standard potting mix.
- Feeding: No fertiliser required. Occasional small insects are sufficient.
Key Characteristics
- Plant type: Carnivorous plant (sundew)
- Growth habit: Low, rosette-forming
- Leaf shape: Spoon-shaped
- Colour: Red to deep red under strong light
- Difficulty: Easy
