Drosera Rotundifolia, also known as the Round-leaved Sundew, is a lovely carnivorous plant that features signature circular traps. Its leaves are rounded, lime-green and lined with long red sticky tentacles. It is a medium-sized sundew and naturally grows in damp, boggy conditions with mottled sunlight. One of the best-known Drosera species, D. rotundifolia has been widely studied and used to better understand carnivorous habits. In ideal conditions, it blooms delicate white flowers and readily self-seeds, producing dense colonies over time.

If you're looking for a plant that is functional and fun to observe, consider carnivorous species. They work beautifully in terrariums and vivariums, or as individual potted plants. Ensure they are planted in a consistently moist growing medium like sphagnum moss. If you live in drier conditions, consider placing them in a shallow dish of RO water.
