Easy
I have followed the directions and kept in a try of rainwater and distilled water. Growing rapidly in full sun. If you live in a dry climate you can grow this easily. Best part of my day is to see what it caught.
Drosera filiformis, Nova Scotia
$24.95
As the name suggests, this form of Drosera filiormis is native to Nova Scotia where winters are downright frigid, so it is accustomed to a short growing season and chilly winters. It comes out of dormancy later than other forms of D. filiformis and is slightly shorter. In late August, it will cease growing and its leaves will die back. The plant will eventually form a resting bud sitting at soil level. Growth will resume in spring.
Type of Plant: Outdoor perennial for container growing.
Leaves: Up to 4-6 inches at maturity.
Sunlight: Partial 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.

Received my drosera in excellent condition! It's a great addition to our bog garden! It's already eating tons of bugs! Highly recommended!

interesting plant
I received a nice little D. filiformis "Nova Scotia" that was, as usual, well packed and arrived safely. The plant has been growing nicely, and I have repotted it into a bit larger pot. It has been blooming freely and produces large (for a Drosera) purplish flowers that are open only during the morning.

My Drosera Filiformis Novia Scota came nicely and now looks stunning with lots of dew.
