As a native to southern Australia and New Zealand, this plant is surprisingly cold hardy. At our nursery, we've had very large adult plants survive winter temperatures as low as 10°F with no winter protection. During the growing season, Drosera dichotoma will produce slender leaves that branches into as many as 4 points per leaf. (Juvenile leaves have only 2 points per leaf.) In winter, its leaves will die back to the soil. In spring, the plant will emerge from its long, thick roots. Give this plant lots of sunlight during the growing season. Lots of sunlight.
This plant was part of our original inventory in 1995!

When I got the staghorn it had got damaged frome the heat. There was only one good leaf on the plant. I kept giving it water and shading during the middle of the day or when it reach a certain temperature. Now it has two good leafs on it and produces dew. I am really impressed with this plant and I really like this plant the most out of all my plants.
I’ve been purchasing plants from Sarracenia Northwest for a few years now. Outstanding company in all respects. My most recent purchase is the Drosera Dichotoma, Giant Staghorn. I’m always amazed at how well they package all their plants for shipping. This plant was no exception. Arrived healthy and ready for me to enjoy. After about a week it started growing more branches(?) arms(?). Catching bunches of little gnats and… The colors are great. The sticky dew is very abundant. I’m really glad I got this plant. I love it! Oh, forgot to mention that I was afraid that any wind beyond a slight breeze would injure or permanently damage it since it is a smaller in stature plant. Big wind did come one day and I watched it bend pretty extremely. Stood right back up no problem. It looks somewhat dainty but it’s not. It’s a Giant STAGHORN!
Got my plant a couple months ago and came very large with 4 two pointed leaves and now those leaves have died off new 3 new 4 pointed leaves have shown!
Great plant catching lots of bugs. Love it.
A beast of a drosera! Catching so many bugs, and packaging and shipping were great. Highly recommend!
Sarracenia Northwest always has the most beautiful and bright CPs. The package is meticulously cared for. The service is amazing as well! Thanks again folks.
I am super happy with my purchase yesterday. I was not expecting such a bigger plant, looks very healthy. I have been a carnivorous plant grower for a few years now and have quite a collection. I'm always looking for unique plants and this is definitely unique. I will most likely be buying all my plants from your company now!!
Growing quickly, looking forward to what this plant does as it grows
