Native to South Africa, Drosera aliciae or ‘Alice sundew’ forms a rosette of wedge-shaped leaves that glisten with dew. Lined with hundreds of sticky, glue-tipped tentacles, this compact species is fantastic for trapping fruit flies and fungus gnats while taking up minimal space in your plant collection.
Light: Full sun to bright, high-intensity grow lights (4–6+ hours of direct light triggers deep red coloration and heavy dew).
Water: Distilled, reverse osmosis, or rainwater only (minerals in tap water burn the roots). Keep the pot standing in a shallow water tray or saucer year-round.
Soil: 4:1 mix of pure peat moss and perlite. Never use standard potting soil or fertilizers.
Temperature & Hardiness: Prefers 59°F–82°F. Hardy down to 32°F in USDA Zones 9–11; brief light frosts may kill back foliage, but it re-sprouts quickly from thick roots.
Dormancy:No winter dormancy required. It grows continuously year-round indoors under warm temperatures and bright light.
Bare-Root Delivery: All carnivorous plants are shipped bare-root (no soil or container) to keep shipping safe and affordable.
Cold Weather Shipping: A 72-Hour Heat Pack is required if daytime or nighttime temperatures in your area are below 40°F. Orders shipped to freezing regions without a heat pack cannot be guaranteed against cold damage.
