Drosera kenneallyi is a member of the Petiolaris Complex and was described by Allen Lowerie in 1996. It is native to Western Australia and the Northern Territory. The plant grows in the form of a rosette laying close to the ground. The leaf stems are smooth except for a few sparse hairs on the lower surfaces. It is still somewhat rare in cultivation. Please note: Some plants are more green on arrival but will turn red with time under intense light. See size information below.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant about 1 inch in diameter, carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. If selecting with soil mix, you will receive two cups of our prepackaged Carnivorous Plant Soil Mix in addition to the bare root plant. This quantity of soil is roughly enough to fill one 2.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 inch square pot.
Growing requirements
Light: Full sun or grow light equivalent
Mature size: About 2.5 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: 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
Temperature: 45-90°F with hotter temperatures preferred, this species prefers warm roots so a heat mat may also be beneficial
Dormancy: Dormant during the dry season. Trigger dormancy by reducing the length of the photoperiod for about 3 months. Reduce watering during dormancy and only feed if there is dew on the traps.
Planting and adjustment instructions will be included with your shipment.

I’m super excited for this unique petiolaris-type sundew. It came in a good size and hopefully isn’t too shocked from transit.
