Drosera prolifera is a delightful tropical sundew from the rainforests of Queensland, Australia. It is also known as the “Hen and Chicks Sundew” because, in addition to small flowers, the scapes produce tiny new plants! The latin name, prolifera, means “proliferate:” to increase rapidly in numbers or multiply.
Even though a single plant may be small, we would highly recommend placing your plant in a pot that’s a good 6 inches wide so that there’s enough room for it to send out scapes and produce new plants which will, in turn, send out scapes and produce new plants.
This is a great little sundew for the terrarium. It loves to be humid and moist in a mossy mix.
