Drocera Intermedia
Beautiful plant, but very tiny and doesn’t appear to have survived heavy rain in a new bog garden.
This eye-catching plant gets up to 3 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter. Its uniform shape gives it the appearance of a miniature tree. The only difference, of course, is that this tree sparkles in sunlight! In the wild, this sundew is found in parts of boggy areas that are often flooded with an inch or two of water. In cultivation, keep the water level fairly high, about 3/4 of the way up the pot. 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: 3-4 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.

Drosera Intermedia - Fruit flies beware!
I live in Zone 6a and currently have my sundew, along with my fly traps and sarracenia under 12-13 hour grow lights, in preparation for June 1st when they will be put outside for the season. The d.intermedia is creating sparkling dew beyond my expectations and has already caught four fruit flies. I also was fortunate to have a smaller 'hitchhiker' d.intermedia attached to a dormant Venus Flytrap I received back in January. That sundew is also growing exceptionally and has caught at least three fruit flies as well. I'm very excited to watch their progression this summer!

Well packed for shipping. This little guy has already grown so much in the month since purchase. It's even spawned a second plant on its own.

Looked good
This guy looked good for the first few days, but ultimately has shriveled up and turned brown completely. HOWEVER, this is totally due to the Arizona heat and ordering in summer wasn't my best decision... I'm sure it was due to the stress of being shipped here. It's totally not anyone's fault, but I'm hoping with a little luck I can bring him back again. I will HAPPILY order from you guys in the future! Really great carnivores
