This species is a demure plant. When fully grown, it is just under 2 inches in diameter, but it can reproduce itself by sending out shoots, producing a mound of multiple plants with spoon-shaped leaves. Give it ample sunlight in a sunny windowsill. With the right care, your plant will produce lovely pink flowers. It's an excellent plant for the first-time grower.

Great service . Amazing plants
I have had my plants for several months now and they are amazing. They arrived lovingly packaged. They sit in RO water on the south side of the house window sill did great...moved them to an indoor sun room for plants...its winter in Erie PA...last place you would want to have to depend on solar panels, full spectrum LED lighting. in sun light they are more green. under full spectrum LED the are more red. The first to flower.

Drosera spatulata
It has been a month - and my little Sundew has been doing valiant battle against small kitchen flies. Lots of new petals - and flower buds. Wish I could post a picture...

A very pretty specimen!
I really love this little Sundew. It changes every day giving me a show with its long "sprout" and jewel-like droplets. You will not be disappointed with this little gem! It was packaged with great care and planting and care instructions were solid!

Spatulata
The spatulata I received was beautiful red and healthy, and even had a bit of dew still on it. Unfortunately it didn't fare too well upon our recent Tennessee heat wave at 94 degrees, even with a week of outdoor acclimation. I noticed after it turned a muddled brownish color, then two babies we're popping up under the mum. I'm just hoping they can recover back to red or find a way to make them happy now so they don't die. But it was beautiful when I got it!

Drosera Spatulata
I've really enjoyed this so far as my first carnivorous plant. I want to keep Heliamphora eventually so I chose this as my intro to carnivores. I keep it in an open topped rimless glass aquarium with 2 inches of distilled water, like the instructions said, under a 15 watt led plant fixture. I feed it fungus gnats and fruit flies and it's been eating and growing!

First carnivorous plant buy
The plant looked fantastic when I got it and was really well packaged. It has grown little green appendages wonderfully and quickly. It hasn’t produced few yet but I think it might be sunlight limitations from being in my dorm
