Overall experience
Plants came in excellent condition. They didn’t even need to be reacclimated - they were ready to thrive!
This sundew has long thread-like leaves, which gives this plant its common name, dewthread. Long thin leaves slowly rise, standing tall and proud. Small drops of nectar glisten ever so slightly, reflecting the sun's rays and enticing insects to taste its sweet offerings. By the end of summers, the plant is flecked with trophies of its conquests. In winter, the plant will die back and form a resting bud sitting at soil level. Growth will resume in mid-spring.

Sunlight: Partial to full sun during the growing season.

Drosera filiformis
Filiformis arrived healthy and securely packaged good enough to have travelled from Timbuktu.

Drosera Filiformis
Plant came very well packaged and healthy and unstressed. It recovered and began producing “dew” within a couple of days. It also tolerates central Texas heat, humidity, and light ver well. It is definitely my most robust drosera.

Drosera has been curling and catching all sorts of bugs!

Easy
I have followed the directions and kept in a try of rainwater and distilled water. Growing rapidly in full sun. If you live in a dry climate you can grow this easily. Best part of my day is to see what it caught.

Bought during winter
Bought these guys during late winter. It came nicely packed with a brochure on what to expect. The plant was small and didn't look like much but as spring came a long it doubled then tripled in size just as the brochure said. Good stuff with good directions.
