☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Carnivorous Sundew Drosera Paradoxa thrives in moderately bright light. It can also handle direct sunlight in the morning and late afternoon. Avoid the harsh midday sun to prevent scorching its delicate leaves.
💧 Water
💧💧💧 (High)
Keep the soil of your Sundew moist at all times. It’s vital to use rainwater or distilled water, as tap water can contain minerals that may harm the plant.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Drosera Paradoxa enjoys a comfortable room temperature, typical of most indoor settings. Avoid placing it in draughty areas or near heat sources.
💦 Humidity
💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
This plant prefers a bit of extra humidity. A kitchen or bathroom where humidity tends to be higher is ideal, or you might consider using a humidity tray or a small humidifier.
🪴 Repotting
Repotting is seldom required. If you do need to repot, choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one and use a suitable carnivorous plant mix, ensuring good drainage and aeration.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
This plant is non-toxic to pets, making it a wonderful addition to households with furry friends.
✅🪴 Recommended Locations at Home
Place your Sundew in well-lit areas away from direct afternoon sun, like near east or west-facing windows. Bathrooms or kitchens can be great too, thanks to their higher humidity levels.
🌬️🪴 Air Purifying
While primarily known for trapping insects, Sundews can help reduce airborne pollutants by trapping dust and other small particles on their sticky leaves.
✨ Other Plant Features
Besides its beauty and unique appearance, Drosera Paradoxa is a natural pest control agent, capturing pesky insects like fungus gnats with ease.
