Drosera madagascariensis is native to South Africa. In the wild, this carnivorous plant species grows in damp, nutrient-poor areas where there are few nutrients in the soil. To ensure it receives sufficient nourishment, the plant has evolved into an effective insect trapper. The stem of this sundew can grow up to 30 centimetres tall. Both in the wild and in cultivation, this sundew can topple over. When the stem makes contact with the ground, the plant can re-root itself. This unique characteristic allows the plant to form a new stem, enabling it to continue developing easily.
