Drosera spatulata – Small, robust and full of sticky drops<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Drosera spatulata<\/b> is one of the most popular sundew species of all, as the plant remains pleasantly compact and at the same time forms countless glittering tentacles. This gives it a permanently lively and active appearance. <\/span><\/p>\n

The spoon-shaped tentacles are particularly typical and give this species its special character. Under good lighting, the tentacles turn an intense red color, while the adhesive droplets shine like small dewdrops. <\/p>\n

This creates a wonderful contrast, especially between light-colored Sphagnum moss or in small BioArt setups, while at the same time the plant looks very natural.<\/p>\n

Catching tentacles full of movement<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

The moth leaves of Drosera spatulata<\/b><\/span> are covered with sticky tentacles to which small insects immediately adhere. As soon as prey is caught, the leaf slowly begins to move around the insect. <\/span><\/p>\n

This allows the plant to absorb additional nutrients and at the same time react actively to its surroundings. It is precisely this slow catching behavior that makes sundew species so exciting to observe. <\/p>\n

In addition, the plant constantly forms new catch leaves, which means that fresh adhesive droplets remain permanently visible.<\/p>\n

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

Needed for strong colors and many adhesive drops Drosera spatulata<\/b><\/span> lots of light. The plant develops compact catch leaves and intense red coloration, especially in bright locations. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ideal are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Light-colored window sills<\/span><\/li>\n
  • planted terrariums<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Greenhouses<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Bioloark Setups<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The plant looks particularly attractive in small planted bowls or nano terrariums, as the round catch leaves immediately catch the eye.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

      This keeps the roots healthy while retaining sufficient moisture.<\/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 plant should be kept slightly moist at all times, but at the same time the substrate should never dry out completely.<\/p>\n

        Robust and perfect for beginners<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

        Drosera spatulata<\/b> is one of the more robust sundew species and is therefore ideal for beginners. At the same time, the plant also impresses experienced carnivore keepers with its intense coloration and active feeding behaviour. <\/span><\/p>\n

        Under good conditions, the plant grows reliably and forms dense groups of small rosettes over time. This quickly makes the setup look more natural and much livelier. <\/p>\n

        Important points on posture<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Very bright location important<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Keep permanently slightly moist<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Only use limescale-free water<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Nutrient-poor substrate required<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Very suitable for beginners<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

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

          For a healthy and colorful plant, 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 planted 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 swamp 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 glittering tentacles perfectly.<\/p>\n

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

            Drosera spatulata<\/b> combines easy keeping with active catching behavior and a beautiful color effect. The spoon-shaped catching leaves, the red tentacles and the glittering drops of glue make this plant a real highlight for small carnivore setups. <\/span><\/p>\n

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