Drosera hookeri forms a compact rosette of narrow, lightly haired leaves that glisten in the light. With sufficient sunlight, the leaves turn reddish; under lower light, they remain bright green. During its active growth period, Drosera hookeri may produce small white or pale-pink flowers on long stems that rise elegantly above the rosette. Drosera hookeri is ideal for bright windowsills or terrariums with high humidity. The Araflora symbols below will give you some additional product information for this carnivorous Drosera species.
