About: commonly called the spoonleaf sundew or the temperate sundew, is a small, rosette-forming carnivorous plant native to bogs, fens, and wet heaths in temperate regions. It’s prized for its delicate, sticky glandular leaves that capture tiny insects, making it both an interesting conversation piece and a beneficial living pest-detector for windowsills, terrariums, and bog
Size: Rosette width is typically 1.5 to 6 inches across in mature plants.
Light requirements: Full sun
Watering requirements: Keep moist sitting in a tray of water outside, never allowing to dry out.
Temperature & Humidity: Keep Drosera intermedia in moderate temperatures (65–80°F day, 50–65°F night) with moderately high humidity (50–80% RH). Maintain consistently moist substrate, provide good light, and ensure gentle air circulation to balance humidity and prevent disease.
Dormancy: If you grow Drosera intermedia in a climate with a cold winter, plan for a cool, drier rest at roughly 32–46 °F for several weeks to a few months. Reduce watering but keep medium slightly damp; avoid standing water and high heat.
Shipping: Oregon and Washington state customers, please read our shipping policies. This plant may ship dormant.
Conservation note: Nursery-propagated stock at our nursery in Colorado Springs, CO.
