Drosera natalensis is a sub-tropical rosette sundew native to South Africa. It is an another easy carnivorous plant to care for making it a good option for beginners. There has been some question as to whether D. natalensis and D. venusta should remain listed as separate species or combined into one due to their similarities. Please note: Some plants may arrive more green in color but will turn red under strong light.

Very cute. Shipping was quick as always. I wanted some little sundews to add to my collection. There a little rough looking from shipping and being repotted but I’m sure it will bounce back. I bought a couple different small ones. Got a couple extra to.
