Drosera sessilifolia is found in several countries in South America. It is often confused with its relative, Drosera burmannii. The leaves of D. sessilifolia are covered with tentacles (trichomes) that secrete a sticky “dew” to attract and catch prey. In addition, the leaf edges are lined with snap tentacles which quickly fold up when disturbed, drawing prey up onto the dewy portion of the leaf. D. sessilifolia often grows as an annual, but can live several years if flower stalks are removed as they appear.

I got this guy on a whim since my current spoonleaf is a little wild and I was hoping get one that laid a touch more flat. Bought one but received 2! The second baby is so little and freaking cute. They’re both quite small but that’s to be expected. They have flattened out and created some dew balls. Def the slowest to settle in to its new environment compared to the pings I purchased which you can see in the photos.
Came packaged very carefully which I appreciate. Was very easy to transplant from its little cup to my carnivore pot set up. Did require a pair of fine pointed tweezers to transplant safely. I 100% plan to buy more from curious plants and have a few bookmarked lol
