Drosera intermedia, commonly known as the oblong-leaved sundew, is a carnivorous plant native to North America, parts of Europe, and the Caribbean. It thrives in boggy, nutrient-poor environments and captures insects with its sticky, glandular leaves. The plant undergoes a dormancy period during the winter months.
Drosera intermedia requires bright, direct sunlight and high humidity to thrive. It prefers moderate temperatures and should be kept in consistently wet conditions. Avoid using tap water; instead, use distilled or rainwater to prevent mineral buildup.
Bodem
This plant prefers a soil mix that mimics its natural boggy habitat. A mix of peat and sand or perlite works well. Ensure the soil remains consistently wet and avoid using nutrient-rich soil, as this can harm the plant.
Kunstmest
Drosera intermedia does not require fertilizer. It obtains nutrients from the insects it captures. Adding fertilizer can be detrimental to its health.
Verpotten
Repotting should be done every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for growth. Use a similar soil mix and handle the roots gently to avoid damage.
Voortplanting
Propagation can be done through leaf cuttings or seed. For leaf cuttings, place a healthy leaf on moist peat and cover it with a plastic bag to maintain humidity. Seeds should be sown on the surface of moist peat and kept in bright, indirect light.
Snoeien
Pruning is not necessary for Drosera intermedia. Remove dead leaves and spent flower stalks to maintain the plant's appearance and health.
Toxiciteit
Drosera intermedia is not toxic to pets or humans. However, it is a carnivorous plant and captures small insects with its sticky leaves.
Aanvullend
Ensure the plant has a dormancy period during the winter months by reducing water and light. This rest period is crucial for its long-term health and growth.
