Drosera aliciae is a long-lived carnivorous marsh plant which is indigenous to South Africa and in particular the Western to Eastern Cape. The leaves frequently have a reddish colour which are covered with sticky, glandular hairs.
Although Drosera aliciae can be grown indoors they are best grown outside in full sun to semi-shade. Always keep potted plants in a 1-3 cm deep saucer of fresh water, as they must remain moist at all times. If growing indoors then place in a northern or eastern direction so the plant gets maximum sunlight.
Aphids, mealy bug and thrips may attack your plant. If so, treat affected plants with a pesticide (diluted according to package instructions) or remove the pests by hand. Never use a soap-based insecticide.
If your plant is allowed to dry out this may lead to the leaves drooping and will lead to a decrease in mucilage (the stick substance on the tips of the tentacles), however simply watering them well should revive the affected plant.
Be careful when handling your plant as touching the leaves may result in a halt in dew production. However do not be too concerned as new leaves will be fine.
Drosera aliciae
As usual, great service and a beautiful plant. It even came with an unexpected friend plant growing next to it in the pot. Very cute. Thanks as always Bonsai Tree team!
Unfortunetly when the Drosera arrived it was very small, with the only the top leaves being alive. I felt the plant was weak when I received it and 1 month later it died with proper care, purified water and good lighting. However the other carnivorous plants I ordered all all thriving!
Hello Mikyle, I regret indeed that this plant died. If you had contacted me about it prior to giving us a bad review, we would like to have rectified the situation. We always select the healthiest plant in stock to send out and ship our plants potted and packaged very well, as you would have witnessed. Sometimes, although extremely seldom, despite our best efforts a plant might suffer due to being packaged, transit with the courier and adapting to its new surroundings. In this rare case it did not make it, but I am very glad the others are thriving.
Perfectly packaged and well cared for plant as always.
I was so happy with my delivery. Cleverly packed and remained moist, with not a petal lost. I have wanted this particular plant for a long time and so happy to have found it here. Thank you for making my purchase a really great experience. I absolutely Love the plant.
Thanks so much Kim for the review and pics! We have been struggling to find a reliable solution for transporting these plants, without bare rooting them as many other resellers do. I am very happy that our current solution is working. Your plant looks most healthy by the way in its new home!
Great service! Lovely Sundew arrived well packaged & in perfect condition, thank you so much.
