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.

Was about an inch in diameter on arrival and is super cute! Got it planted and it’s starting to get some of its dew back after 3 days. Seems to be doing good so far!
