Drosera prolifera – A small tropical rainforest inhabitant<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Drosera prolifera<\/b> is one of the most beautiful tropical sundew species, as the plant looks much wilder and more natural than many compact sundew species. At the same time, the long catch leaves with their red tentacles form a strong contrast to the fresh green of the plant. <\/span><\/p>\n

Under good lighting, the adhesive droplets glisten particularly intensely, making the plant look almost permanently moist or covered in dew. This creates a very tropical and lively impression. <\/p>\n

Particularly effective between sphagnum moss, lava stones or in moist bioloark setups Drosera prolifera<\/b><\/span> looks like a small rainforest sundew straight from the Australian jungle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Active catch blades full of movement<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

The long tentacles of Drosera prolifera<\/b><\/span> are covered with sticky drops to which small insects adhere. As soon as prey is caught, the trapping leaves begin to move slowly around the insect. <\/span><\/p>\n

This allows the plant to absorb additional nutrients, while at the same time new catch leaves are constantly being formed. It is precisely this active behavior that makes sundew species so exciting and lively. <\/p>\n

The plant also looks particularly beautiful after spraying, as the tentacles then glisten extremely strongly and almost glow.<\/p>\n

Location and husbandry<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Needed for strong colors and many adhesive drops Drosera prolifera<\/b><\/span> requires a lot of light, but at the same time the species prefers high humidity and a moist climate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ideal are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • humid terrariums<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Bioloark Setups<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Greenhouses<\/span><\/li>\n
  • bright locations without extreme midday heat<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The plant really comes into its own in tropical plant set-ups with moss and roots. This quickly creates a dense and natural rainforest look. <\/p>\n

    Substrate and irrigation<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Like many tropical sundew species, also Drosera prolifera<\/b><\/span> a nutrient-poor and permanently moist substrate. Particularly suitable:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Sphagnum moss<\/span><\/li>\n
    • BioArt gravel<\/span><\/li>\n
    • loose moss substrates<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This keeps the root system permanently moist, while at the same time allowing sufficient air to remain in the soil.<\/p>\n

      Normal potting soil should never be used, as the nutrients it contains can damage the sensitive roots.<\/p>\n

      Only suitable for watering:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Rainwater<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Distilled water<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Osmosis water<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The substrate should remain slightly moist at all times, but at the same time there should be no extreme waterlogging.<\/p>\n

        Growth and special features<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

        The name prolifera<\/b><\/span> is perfectly suited to this species, as the plant regularly forms new offshoots and thus grows into small groups over time. It is precisely this behavior that makes this species particularly exciting for planted terrariums. <\/span><\/p>\n

        The long catch leaves also give the plant a much “wilder” appearance than many classic sundew species. This makes it a perfect fit for tropical nature set-ups. <\/p>\n

        Important points on posture<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • High humidity is important<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Very bright location recommended<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Only use limescale-free water<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Keep permanently slightly moist<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Ideal for tropical terrariums<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Suitable accessories for your setup<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

          For a healthy and tropical presentation, we recommend:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Sphagnum moss<\/b><\/span> – stores moisture optimally<\/span><\/li>\n
          • BioArt Gravel<\/b><\/span> – perfect basis for healthy growth<\/span><\/li>\n
          • GLORIA fine sprayer<\/b><\/span> – Fine and controlled watering<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Bioloark<\/b><\/span> – ideal for tropical carnivore setups<\/span><\/li>\n
          • BioArt Drop \/ Cylinder \/ Bowl<\/b><\/span> – Terrariums with integrated lighting<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Premium lava stone or dragon stone<\/b><\/span> – for natural rainforest layouts<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            This creates a stable and at the same time very natural-looking setup in which the plant can develop its long tentacles perfectly.<\/p>\n

            Conclusion<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

            Drosera prolifera<\/b> is one of the most beautiful tropical sundew species of all. The long trapping leaves, the glittering sticky drops and the wild rainforest look make this plant a real highlight for humid natural terrariums. <\/span><\/p>\n

            Anyone looking for an active and at the same time exceptionally tropical carnivore will have a lot of fun with this species.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
