Drosera adelae is a tropical perennial plant that produces long, sword-shaped leaves in a basal rosette. The leaves, like most other Drosera species, are covered with sticky, stalked tentacles that secrete the prey-capturing glue. Tentacle movement in this species, unlike other Drosera, is minimal and slow to the point of being barely noticeable. The leaves are typically 10-25 cm (4-10 in) long and 7-10 mm wide. Bears many red, reddish orange, or cream colored flowers from June to November. The five petals produce a perfect pentagon shape. Drosera adelae reproduces rapidly by asexual means, generating new plantlets from the spreading roots, which means this species is often found in large clumps.
Note: These seeds are extremely tiny! It's just how they naturally are. Reading glasses are recommended to aid with seeing them, even for those who don't normally require glasses to read. The seeds are shipped in either a wax envelope, or folder within a small paper. Open carefully, and sprinkle onto the growing medium. Do not bury the seeds. Germination information is below.
Seeds per packet: 5
Surface sow on mix of peat/perlite. Keep wet, distilled, rain, reverse osmosis water only. Keep warm and humid. Germinates in 5-8 weeks.
