Drosera intermedia

This eye-catching plant grows up to 3 inches tall and 3 inches wide. Its uniform shape makes it look like a tiny tree. The only difference is that this little tree sparkles in sunlight! In the wild, this sundew is found in parts of boggy areas that are often flooded with one or two inches of water. When cultivated, keep the water level quite high, about three-quarters of the way up the pot. In winter, the leaves die back, and the plant forms a resting bud at soil level. Growth will start again in mid-spring.
