Description

Drosera filiformis, also known as nature’s anti-aircraft gun for its ability to snipe flying insects out of the air with its long leaves. These thread-leaved, slender and filamentous leaves unfurl from a center rosette, reaching up sky-high to attract and trap low-altitude insects. Really effective for attracting and catching small flying insects like mosquitoes or small flies.

No fertilizer required. Fertilizers are like toxins, especially for carnivorous plants. Their roots are very sensitive to minerals and often die when they come in contact with minerals.

Feeding is strongly discouraged by our community. Carnivorous plants have the ability to lure and hunt down insects. There is no need for us to feed them. Often, when we feed them, we tend to damage the plants’ traps. However, if you want to feed them, you can feed them 1 insect every 1-2weeks. Do note that the insect must be 1/3 the size of leaves.
