Drosera adelae ‘Giant’ is a large form of the Lance-Leaf Sundew and can grow up to 12 inches in diameter in ideal conditions. It is one of the “Three Sisters of Queensland” along with Drosera prolifera and Drosera schizandra. D. adelae ‘Giant’ is an easy sundew to care for if given plenty of humidity and low light. Exposed roots will produce many plantlets along their length.

Doesn’t match the picture. It’s smaller. At least it arrived healthy. Paid a hefty 2 day shipping for it.

Repeat customer. The Adelae plug was about 1″ across – healthy for a baby sundew. I also ordered D. Andromeda – mine was 2″ x 3″ across – that’s large for most baby sundews. The packaging was meticulous.. My first order contained D. Aliciae, D. Regia and D. Graomogolensis (Bare Root Plants). A+!

I’ve had these for a while now and I love them. There’s over 20 little guys. At first I thought they where too small but after a few weeks they’re growing so well. Very happy with my purchase.
