Floating Sundew Plant - Drosera admirabilis - Carnivorous Plant 3" Pot

It arrived perfectly intact and totally safe in its shipping. It came with more than enough moss to plant it in. Planting it was super easy.The size of a quarter, it’s absolutely adorable and I’m excited to see it grow. It’s already catching gnats.I planted it in the included moss a couple weeks ago and it’s still super healthy and happy.

I was a little annoyed with the delay in shipping but that was USPS fault and not the seller.I bought two of them at separate times. The one that arrived early is already sprouting droplets. Everything looks good so far. Give them 1-2 weeks--mostly 8-9 days--for them to acclimate to their new environment and they will develop their dews.As for their size, the first one is huge while the second is the size of a quarter. I actually got 2 sundew plants on the second purchase.

This is a pic of each straight out of the box. Better than I could of expected. Packed with love. The bulb and blue wrapping was still damp when it arrived. Plants looked so healthy. More than enough moss for 2 plants and pots included. Shipping box was full of it. Loved the instructions sheet, very helpful.

Arrived healthy and alive. The plant is small, think very small, like quarter sized small. My other carnivores were small when I received them and now one year later they are thriving.I slowly acclimated the little sundew (Drosera) leaving it enclosed in its ziplock bag and placing it in late afternoon sun for a couple of hours for two days before transplanting it. While the plant was acclimating I soaked the sphagmum moss in a bowl DISTILLED WATER because it arrived mostly dried out. Do use the sphagmum moss. The plant does come with a plant care information sheet. My little Sundew is adjusting well.i planted it 2 weeks ago, look closely at its center producing new growth.Dec. 2024, the little Sundew really healthy and growing nearly fifty cents size with nice long hair leaves/ fronds. I’m very happy with its progress. They are slow growers.

Bought this and a few other carnivorous plants for a little old lady friend.This plant is thriving in central Oklahoma indoors. During the winter it had a south facing window that got good light all day. This spring we moved it to a west facing window in the kitchen that gets strong afternoon light.It's earning it's keep with the fruit flys it catches.I'm about to look up how to split it into multiple pots, it's growing so well.Not the greatest gift, since she now has to buy a gallon of distilled water every month.

Packaged well. Came with complete care instructions which was very helpful. I can't wait for it to grow bigger.

I got in the hopes of it dealing with a gnat problem that I think arises from my several ever-wet plants. It was tiny when it came; the description did not lie 😀 I put it in another ever-wet pot, using the provided moss, next to the rest of the ever-wet plants, and under a little grow light that comes on for 4 hours every day. The plant has put off quite a few new leaves in the short time I’ve had it. It is starting to show signs of dewing up. Much to my sadness, though, it has yet to eat a single gnat, even in the heart of Gnat Central. Soon, I hope!

This is a hardy little plant. I absolutely did not have the right conditions for it when I got it, but I've been slowly correcting that over the past month or so, and not only is the plant still alive, but I finally have a good amount of dew on the leaves.This comes with a pot and more than enough potting material (dried moss or something) as well as some directions. I always have distilled water around the house so I am using that to water the plant (the other option is rainwater, but the supply of that is of course not easy to predict around here). I also got a shallow plant saucer to put under the pot so I could keep some water there and also catch any overflow.I put a humidifier in the room with this (I also have some air plants and an orchid with non-buried, aerial roots, so many plants are getting the benefit). It is one of the Vicks cool mist ones designed for a single bedroom. I think that is helping, as well -- you can definitely feel the change in humidity when you open the door to that room.And finally, I got a plant light. It was one of those red/blue LED ones and that seems to be fine. You will know it is too close if the leaves turn a dark red (this happened to me) and so keep adjusting it and then waiting a day or so. Dew will start to appear on the plant when your light is at the right distance.So the care for this is rather involved, but the plant you get is hardy enough to go through a few iterations of fixes as you attempt to get the conditions just right.For what it's worth, my plant is just around the size of a golf ball (the pot is 3", the plant is not). If you don't have very small gnats or something for it to catch, you can feed it blood worms (sold as betta fish food). Don't give it really big insects as the plant is too delicate for that.
