A fully grown Drosera tracyi is a truly impressive plant. In the right conditions, it forms a tight clump with leaves approaching 20 inches. While its leaves may not curl around insects like other sundews, it has a great appetite for flies of all sizes. It's almost like having renewable flypaper. In winter, the leaves will die back, and the plant will form a resting bud sitting at soil level. Growth will resume in mid-spring.
Type of Plant: Outdoor perennial for container growing.
Leaves: Up to XX inches at maturity.
Sunlight: Partial to full sun during the growing season.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts peat moss and perlite only.
Winter: Dormant. Minimal protection in USDA zones 7-9. Mulch in colder regions.

I waited a little bit to write this review to see how the Drosera would react to a different climate zone (9B in the Bay Area) and it seems to be doing quite well! The nice part about it is that got not one but two small Drosera Tracyi instead of one! Shipping was timely as always and very carefully packaged as well. I will be sure to post updates on the plant as it continues to grow up.
Once again I was extremely impressed with the timely shipping and how my plant was packaged. It arrived in great condition and so far it is doing fine out on my balcony. Will continue doing business with you guys.
