Drosera — 46 species

Sundews are captivating carnivorous plants native to nutrient-poor wetlands worldwide. Madagascar Sundew, Natal Sundew, and Shield Sundew all share the same cultural needs: bright light (direct sun where possible), consistently moist conditions using distilled or rainwater only, and a lean, peat-based or peat-free sphagnum mix — never regular potting compost or fertiliser. Toxicity information for Drosera is not well established, and data varies by species. Until comprehensive studies exist, treat them with caution around curious pets and consult a veterinarian if ingestion is suspected.
