This form of Drosera aff. ordensis was originally collected in the Kingston Rest area of Australia and grows very wide leaves. The plants are densely covered in white hairs that provide protection from the sun and dry heat by keeping the leaves cool and reducing water loss.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a plant about 1 inch in diameter. Bare root plants will be carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. Potted specimens will be packed securely to prevent the plant from becoming dislodged during shipping.
Growing requirements
Light: Full sun or grow light equivalent
Mature size: About 3 inches in diameter
Soil: Carnivorous Plant Soil Mix, Pure peat, peat-sand mix, or long-fiber sphagnum
Feeding: Feed bugs, dried bloodworms, fish food, or diluted foliar fertilizer such as Maxsea every 2-3 weeks
Humidity: 50-75%
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
Temperature: 45-90°F with hotter temperatures preferred, this species prefers warm roots so a heat mat may also be beneficial

Being a repeat customer for some time now, I can say unequivocally that over the past year (and more) that every plant I have received from Curious Plants has exceeded my expectations. I have always been impressed by the quality, size and condition each plant has arrived in. I highly recommend this business.

As usual, the plants arrived in perfect condition. Many of the plants I’ve purchased from Curious Plants are hard to find and over the past year, I’ve had great service and would highly recommend purchasing from Curious Plants.
