Sundew 'Drosera lunata'

Drosera lunata originates from tropical regions in southeastern Asia and Australia. It grows in exposed, moist areas. For optimal growth, the optimal day temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius. In the night temperatures could drop to 20 degrees Celsius. In spring and in summer this plant could also grow outdoors but make sure temperature does not drop under 20 degrees Celsius. Place this plant in a humus rich, water retaining medium that lacks nutrients and other dissolved salts completely. Clean peat or horticultural sand are some examples. Provide this species with bright to very bright light conditions such as direct sunlight or strong artificial lights. Prevent this plant from drying out when actively growing. To maintain swampy or soggy conditions, it is possible to place a perforated pot in a tray of water. Always use demineralized water; water containing even a low concentration of minerals could burn the sensitive roots. Fertilizer is best to avoid but it is possible to feed this plant with caught insects once per month.
