Drosera adelae is an excellent plant for beginners because of its ability to adaptable to lower light conditions than what other sundews require. Grow in medium light for wide green leaves. Grow in very bright light for narrower, red leaves. The sundew is also extremely prolific. It sends out runners that form new plants from under the soil. A single plant in a 3-inch pot can easily fill up that space within 6 months! It makes a great companion plant for orchids, such as Phalenopsis. Look for red star-shape flowers in early winter.

Type of Plant: Tropical plant for windowsill growing.
Size: 4 inches across when mature.
Sunlight: Dappled sun. Avoid hot sunlight.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts peat moss and perlite only.

    Buh-bye gnats

    Posted by David Hill on June 10, 2020

    Dear reader, if you have gnats, this plant is your answer! My plant arrived in great condition 3 mos. ago. I bought it to deal with fungus gnats and that tiny little plant has been more effective than I had ever dared hope. Cool healthy plant, arrived quickly (and well packed) with good instructions. I will definitely order from this site again. Thanks.

    The adelae was perfect and healthy. Sarracenia Northwest send big plants - much bigger than many of the other vendors. A month later and my adelae is sending up a flower stalk, which I'll let it bloom to see the flowers.
