Rare And Unusual Plants

I would like to introduce another addition to our Carnivorous plant selection.

Drosera Paradoxa, a very unusual-looking ultimate fungus gnat killer!

If you have an issue with this pest this plant is for you.

How to look after Carnivorous Plants

They grow best in higher humidity and moderately bright light. Can tolerate also direct morning and late afternoon sunlight. Keep the growing medium constantly moist and water with rainwater. Don’t use plant food and don’t water leaves from the top.

This plant is non toxic to pets.

How often should I water my Carnivorous Sundew Drosera Paradoxa?: Keep the soil of your Drosera Paradoxa constantly moist by watering it with rainwater or distilled water. Avoid letting the soil dry out, which can stress the plant.
Can I place my Drosera Paradoxa in direct sunlight?: This plant thrives in moderately bright light and can tolerate direct morning and late afternoon sunlight. Avoid midday sun, which may be too intense and could harm the plant.
Is the Carnivorous Sundew Drosera Paradoxa suitable for beginners?: Yes, it is suitable for beginners who are willing to provide consistent moisture and the right light conditions. Its care requirements are straightforward, making it an excellent choice for those new to carnivorous plants.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Carnivorous Sundew Drosera Paradoxa thrives in moderately bright light. It can handle direct sunlight during less intense morning and late afternoon hours, making it perfect for east or west-facing windows.

? Water

??? (High)

Keep the soil consistently moist, not soggy. Always use rainwater or distilled water as tap water may contain minerals that can harm the plant. Avoid watering directly on the leaves to mimic their natural boggy habitat.

?️ Temperature

?️?️▫️ (Average)

Room temperature is ideal for your Sundew. It prefers temperatures between 15°C to 25°C. Avoid placing it near drafts or heat sources which can dry out the plant or cause temperature fluctuations.

? Humidity

??? (Moderate to High)

Drosera Paradoxa loves a humid environment. Regular misting or a humidity tray can help maintain the humidity levels. A bathroom with natural light could be a perfect spot!

? Repotting

This plant generally doesn’t require frequent repotting. Use a mix specifically designed for carnivorous plants, containing sphagnum moss and perlite, to ensure proper drainage and aeration.

? Pet Friendliness

This plant is non-toxic to pets, making it a worry-free choice for pet owners.

? Recommended Locations at Home

Ideal locations include well-lit bathrooms, kitchens, or near east or west-facing windows. Ensure the spot is away from direct, harsh sunlight to avoid leaf burn.

? Air Purifying

While primarily known for trapping insects, carnivorous plants like the Sundew can also help purify the air by reducing airborne pollutants.

✨ Other Plant Features

Aside from its captivating appearance and practical pest control properties, Drosera Paradoxa is an excellent conversation starter due to its unique and unusual look.

If you have more questions about caring for your Sundew, don’t hesitate to ask Mossbot for help, or contact us via our website. Remember, we also offer a free plant hospital service if your plant pals are feeling under the weather.

Authentic Photos of Our Plants: We take every photo you see, showcasing the actual plants we offer. Each plant is selected randomly unless otherwise stated, adding a touch of surprise to your order.

Natural Variations Make Each Plant Unique: No two plants are the same. Differences in size, leaf count, and minor cosmetic imperfections are part of their charm and individuality, making your plant truly one of a kind.

Healthy Plants, Always: While we can’t guarantee an exact match to the photos, we promise to send only happy, healthy plants that are well-cared for and ready to thrive in your space.

Let Your Plant Settle: Allow your new plant to adjust to its surroundings for 1–2 weeks before repotting, propagating, or making any major changes. This settling-in period reduces stress and helps your plant flourish.

Shipped-in Trusted Potting Mix: Our plants are delivered in a standard grower’s potting mix. When you’re ready to repot, choose from our premium-quality mixes designed specifically for aroids, succulents, and terrariums, available in our shop.

Expert Guidance on Repotting: I’m unsure if it’s time to repot. Check out our article, When to Repot Your Plant, for expert advice on keeping your plant healthy and happy.

Support for Climbing Plants: For Monstera, Philodendron, and Syngonium, add one of our handmade sphagnum moss poles and a watering drip cup. These accessories encourage natural growth, support larger leaves, and keep your plants neat and upright.

Simple Care at Your Fingertips: Every plant includes plant care instructions, and you can scan the QR code on the nursery pot to access detailed guides. For additional help, our Moss Bot is available 24/7 on the website to answer your plant care questions.

Complete Your Plant Setup: Browse our selection of stylish planters, precision pruning tools, watering tools, full spectrum grow lights, eco-friendly pest treatments, organic plant food, and efficient watering accessories. Everything you need for a thriving plant collection is just a click away.
Sustainably Packed with Care: Your plant will arrive safely, packed with reused and environmentally friendly materials. While we take great care to prevent damage, some fragile plants may experience minor leaf loss during transit—but don’t worry, your healthy plants will grow back.

Perfect for Every Plant Parent: Whether you’re just starting your plant journey or have a home filled with greenery, our products and accessories are designed to help you succeed.

We carefully wrap every order using eco-friendly materials wherever possible.

I did not expect the items in my order to be so stunning and utterly joyous! The moss just sprang into verdant glory as soon as I unshackled it from its wax paper and unleashed it in its prepared spot in the miniature Lord of the Rings mood garden 🤪 As I said to the postie, forget snow to eskimos, we are shipping moss to Argyll! Lovely wee selection. The moss pole with cup is brilliantly designed and will make my monstera much happier in a room heated with a log burner and near a radiator. She is already very tolerant and happy but this will hopefully set her up for winter. A daily drench of warmed rainwater on that pole will recreate Amazonia for a plant that in my experience loves heat as long as humidity is good and I’m confident she will take over the world. Please never stop doing extensions!
