1 Live Plant Drosera spatulata Spoon-Leaf Sundew Carnivorous Terrarium Plant

Drosera spatulata, commonly known as the spoon-leaf sundew, is a small rosette-forming carnivorous plant prized for its neat, spoon-shaped leaves covered in glistening glandular hairs. Its compact size and striking dewy appearance make it a favorite among collectors of unusual plants, terrarium builders, and anyone drawn to distinctive foliage.
This tropical sundew grows readily in warm, humid conditions and develops a tight, self-supporting rosette that works beautifully in terrariums, bog gardens, and windowsill collections. It captures small insects through its sticky glandular leaves, adding natural interest to any display. Provide bright light, consistent moisture, and clean water for healthy, colorful growth.
