Drosera ‘Andromeda’ is a hybrid of D. schizandra and D. prolifera. It prefers cool, shaded to partially shaded conditions with plenty of humidity making it an ideal sundew for terrariums or highland tanks. Leaf movement is minimal when fed.

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

I love my new plant and hope it will control gnats and fruit flies in my house, where it sits on my kitchen counter. I have deducted one star simply because I’m not sure how much dried bloodworms/fish food to give the plant nor do I know how much water to give it and how often. I don’t want to drown it but I know it needs to stay moist….
