Drosera x badgerupii [Lake Badgerup, Wanneroo, Western Australia]

Drosera x badgerupii is classified as a Pygmy Sundew, characterized by its small, compact rosettes of spoon-shaped leaves, typically less than 5 cm in diameter. This hybrid, a natural cross between Drosera micra and Drosera patens, features glandular tentacles on its leaf margins that secrete a sticky substance to trap small insects, enhancing its ability to obtain nutrients in nutrient-poor environments.Origin: The name “badgerupii” is derived from the Noongar word for two bodies of water in Western Australia: Lake Badgerup and Little Badgerup Swamp. This plant was endemic to Western Australia and thrived in specific habitats, particularly in peaty sand or pure peat found on the margins of swamps and lakes.Product Features:Remarkable adaptations for survival.Prefers full sunCan enter dormancy during dry periods to conserve energySuited for nutrient-poor soilsProstrate growthAdditional info: For more info & photos visit our blog and our page Facebook and Instagram.
