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.

Really nice. The packaging was excellent and the plants were better looking upon arrival than I expected. Seem to be doing well so far in the terrarium. I’ll definitely be ordering more soon.
