(24 reviews)

Drosera adelae is an excellent plant for beginners because of its ability to adaptable to lower light conditions than what other sundews require. Grow in medium light for wide green leaves. Grow in very bright light for narrower, red leaves. The sundew is also extremely prolific. It sends out runners that form new plants from under the soil. A single plant in a 3-inch pot can easily fill up that space within 6 months! It makes a great companion plant for orchids, such as Phalenopsis. Look for red star-shape flowers in early winter.

Type of Plant: Tropical plant for windowsill growing.
Size: 4 inches across when mature.
Sunlight: Dappled sun. Avoid hot sunlight.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts peat moss and perlite only.
Temperatures: Tolerant of cool temperatures but always protect from frost.

    Beautiful plant, there was even a second little one in the same pot so I got a two for one deal. Looking forward to my next order.

    The Drosera adelae arrived in great condition. I was a little worried about shipping it across the country in summer. It is growing well.

    It took 2-3 days to ship and when it arrived it was securely packaged and looked very healthy. It also came with several adelaes in the pot. Very satisfied with this purchase. Thanks!

    Great Adelae

    Posted by Spencer B on August 2, 2020

    You can't go wrong with an adelae, mine came with a bit of live sphagnum that I am cultivating. The plant has grown many offshoots over the past month and works great in my indoor setup.

    Drosera adelae

    Posted by David Cline on July 26, 2020

    Website, ease of ordering, speedy arrival no complaints. Unpacking it was a lot easier than the two nepenthes I bought before. Those were packed well. Perhaps a little too well! lol I’m a little worried about this drosera. Top leaves are turning brown though rest of plants looks fine. I’m telling myself it’s still adjusting to its new environment. I know you said LEDs are bad but my Cape sundew has been going boffo with it. Then again, that one gets a good mix of artificial light and sun. Yours not as much. Been thinking of moving it to the windowsill. It’s a south facing window which will be good during our short days of winter. Anyway, hope I didn’t come off critical. Been thinking of buying anther drosera and a couple more nepenthes if I can make the room and Sarracenia NW is on my radar if I do.

    After one month this plant is healthy and catching lots of bugs in a garage window sill. The plant was carefully packed up for the trip in the mail and arrived in perfect condition.

    Buh-bye gnats

    Posted by David Hill on June 10, 2020

    Dear reader, if you have gnats, this plant is your answer! My plant arrived in great condition 3 mos. ago. I bought it to deal with fungus gnats and that tiny little plant has been more effective than I had ever dared hope. Cool healthy plant, arrived quickly (and well packed) with good instructions. I will definitely order from this site again. Thanks.
