Drosera adelae is an excellent plant for beginners because of its ability to adapt to lower light conditions than other sundews require. Grow in medium light for wide green leaves. Grow in very bright light for narrower, red leaves. The sundew propagates itself by sending out runners that form new plants from under the soil. It makes a great companion plant for orchids, such as Phalaenopsis. Look for red star-shaped flowers in early winter.
