Drosera spatulata, also called Spoon-Leaf Sundew, is a carnivorous plant that displays small rosettes of green, spoon-shaped leaves covered in sticky, red-orange hairs that capture insects. Self-pollinating, with 20+ pink flowers per stalk. Carnivorous plants survive best in containers. Plant and grow in moist to wet soil mix: 50% peat moss, 50% perlite. Water with pure, low mineral water. Do not fertilize or force feed.

Calling children of all ages! This minute plant for the windowsill gardener is entertaining and curious. One of the carnivorous bog plants from Asia, it makes a great indoor specimen for any sunny exposure. The tiny leaves form in rosettes and are covered with hairs topped in sticky droplets. When insects land on the hairs, they stay. Grow in a saucer of water.
