Drosera burmannii Seeds

Carnivorous Sundew

Drosera burmannii is found in northern and eastern Australia, India, China, Japan, and south-east Asia. There are various forms that range in size from less than 1 cm to about 2 cm across and may be golden green, dark green, green with red tentacles or all red. Drosera burmannii is an annual which means under normal circumstances within one growing season they will grow quickly, bloom, set seed and die. In nature Drosera burmannii seeds sprout with the onset of the summer rainy season. It requires very warm and bright conditions to do well. The plants bloom and then die in the fall as the ground dries out. You can maintain Drosera burmannii a number of years if you remove the flower stalks before the flowers open, keep the plants in their ideal circumstances of heat and light, and repot them after the mat of old leaves gets thick enough to interfere with new roots. If you allow them to bloom even once, the plants will be reduced in size substantially and may have difficulty recovering unless carefully trimmed of old leaves and transplanted. Fun & educational!
