Drosera aff. lantata is part of the Petiolaris Complex. These particular plants were originally collected around Flying Fox Creek in the Northern Territory of Australia. The leaves turn deep red in intense light and the petioles (stems) are covered in numerous white hairs that give the plant a silvery sheen.

Humidity: 35-75%
Water: Keep wet at all times during the active growing season, provide water that is low in salts and minerals such as rain or distilled water

Plant arrived healthy and looking great. This is my 4th order so I’m not surprised, just pleased at your continued excellent quality. The petiolaris I bought a year ago is doing very well so I expect this one will too. Thank you!
