Seasonal Appearance and Monthly Care Video
This is a giant among pygmy sundews. During it's first year, it grows up to 2 inches tall. As the plant matures, it continues to grow an inch or two each year. The lower portions will turn brown, but the upper portion will remain green. They seem to reach a maximum height of 8 inches. The leaves resemble the tail of a scorpion and has dewy tentacles that wrap around flies and other small insects. What a beast! Grrrr!

In early winter, look for gemmae, vegetative bodies that you can sow to grow more plants.
