It also produces pinkish flowers, around 3 cm, throughout the year. The leaves are covered with hairs, glands, like other Drosera. The leaves are short and spoon-shaped. Insects are attracted to the leaves by the shine of the hairs. The leaves wrap around the prey like the movement of a wrist. Once caught, the insect is digested by digestive fluids emitted by the plant. This is a unique way to obtain nitrogen, allowing these plants to live in soils poor in this substance. Hardiness zones 8-10, (1 ° C / 35 ° F, -10 ° C / 15 ° F) in Winter. The plant should be grown in full sun, with protection from the hot midday sun. In shaded areas, an artificial light source is essential. If the plant has enough light, it will produce redder rosettes. The temperature should be kept between 20 ° C / 30 ° C, 68 ° F / 85 ° F. The plant does not have a dormant period. It can germinate well in a mixture of sphagnum moss and sand, which can be 50% to 70% sphagnum moss. You don't have to fertilize since the plant relies on insects for food. Humidity should be between 60-80%. It needs an atmosphere and a moist soil. The water should be distilled or rainwater, since it does not tolerate tap water. VS' It is a good idea to place a saucer containing an inch of water, under the pot. Raise the pot by placing stones, so that the base of the pot is barely in contact with the water. This will provide the plant with a constant source of moisture.
