Drosera enodes (Scott River)
Description
Drosera enodes (Scott River) is a beautiful pygmy sundew with numerous short leaves with an elliptical lamina covered in exceptionally dewy tentacles. These can grow a short stem over time and create a small “ball” of dewy leaves! It has many small white flowers that are lightly scented. It can grow to roughly 1” tall and 1” in diameter. One of the most beautiful pygmy sundews available. This form originates from Scott River, Western Australia.
As a pygmy sundew, it will produce ‘gemmae’ which are tiny modified leaves that appear as geometric circles of buds in the center of the growing point each fall. Each gemma can detach from the main plant and rapidly grow into a new plant (much faster than planting seed).
Drosera enodes (Scott River) produces very large gemmae that are around 1.5mm in diameter. Adjust the photoperiod to be 9-10 hours in winter, gradually cycling to 14-15 hours in summer. They require proper lighting cues to produce gemmae and to flower in spring.
Plants are potted in 2.5”W x 2.5”D x 3.5”H plastic pots. There will be 2+ plants per pot.
Growing Information
Climate: Mediterranean (SW Australia). 40-100F, low to moderate humidity.
Light: Full Sun or 20W per sq ft LED light. Pygmy sundews love bright light.
Water: Distilled or Reverse Osmosis water. Sitting in 0.5” of water using tray method.
Soil: 60% Perlite/Sand: 40% Peat Moss. Rinse media with distilled or reverse osmosis water to remove excess salts.
Feeding: Feed leaves with Fish Food Slurry every month or so.
