Sundew nidiformis (Drosera nidiformis) is a carnivorous plant native to South Africa, growing in moist, peaty soils with low nutrient content. Drosera nidiformis has rosette-shaped leaves covered with sticky glandular hairs that trap insects. The captured prey is then digested, allowing the plant to absorb essential nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. The leaves of Drosera nidiformis form a compact, nest-like structure, which gives the plant its name (nidiformis' means 'nest-shaped'). In summer, Drosera nidiformis produces white to light pink flowers in a branched inflorescence. The species is found in marshy grasslands and often forms symbiotic relationships with other carnivorous plants. Drosera nidiformis is well adapted to poor soils through its carnivorous strategy. Like other Drosera species, it captures and digests insects to survive in nutrient-deficient environments. Drosera nidiformis is a fascinating example of the adaptations that carnivorous plants develop in nature.
Sundew nidiformis (Drosera nidiformis) loves heat and high humidity. Therefore, it's placed preferably in a terrarium. Drosera nidiformis is a small sundew, with South Africa as it natural distribution. This botanical drosera species is suitable for windowsills and terrariums.
