Description
Drosera spatulata var. gympiensis is a specific locality variant of the spoonleaf sundew. Its leaves are covered in sticky glands that capture insects. The leaves are often in a spoon-like shape. It thrives in acidic, nutrient-poor soil, with environments that mimic its natural habitat. For successful cultivation, provide a sunny location and adequate humidity. A cultivation tip is to use mineral-free water to avoid mineral buildup in the soil. Ensuring proper drainage is also essential for the plant's health.
