FREE: Drosera aliciae aka Alice Sundew 20+ seeds 5 day auction

The listing, Drosera aliciae aka Alice Sundew 20+ seeds 5 day auction has ended.

Drosera aliciae is a beautiful rosetted South African sundew. It is a subtropical sundew, and is the easiest sundew I've ever grown. It was one of the first sundews I grew from seed, but it always kept trucking along-even when my D. capensis was near-death!I highly reccommend Drosera aliciae to new growers.

Media preference- Drosera aliciae will grow well in just about anything.
Recommended mix: 1 peat: 1 sand (silica is best).
Other options: 100% Long-fibered sphagnum, 1 peat:1 perlite

Media moisture:
Keep moist. D. aliciae can tolerate a little drier to very moist soils.

Humidity:
Very little is needed for Drosera aliciae, but my recommended range is over 60%

Temperature:
Drosera aliciae handles warmer temperatures well (tested to 90 degrees F) but it will not thrive if humidity is lower during this time. Don't subject Drosera aliciae to temperatures lower than 40 degress F (to be safe) or the plant may die back to the roots. However, the plant will come back from the roots, like a perennial once conditions are favorable again.

Pot height:
I started growing Drosera aliciae from seed in a wide 5 inch tall pot. They grow much slower if they are crowded as seen in the first picture. Drosera aliciae has long, thick roots, so I'd recommend pots that are 5+ inches tall. However, I've seen Drosera aliciae growing well in a small yogurt cup, so any size works.

Feeding:
Drosera aliciae grows much faster when fed. My plants grown from seed didn't flower until I fed them. They also reach a larger size when are consistently fed. See the sundew feeding page.

Lighting:
Will turn red-orange if given intense sun. Otherwise, will have orange-green leaves with red tentacles if given a little less light, or fed more frequently.

D. aliciae does not need dormancy, and can be grown indoors year-round.
