Growing tuberous Drosera

摘要

The TUBEROUS Drosera represent surely the most scarcely cultivated group of the genus. This is a great shame as all are exquisitely beautiful carnivorous plants, and most respond well to similar growing methods. When one thinks of a sundew one immediately imagines a bog plant, but this group of unusual perennial species exhibits a very different habit, in a very different habitat. Found predominately in Western Australia, the 50 or so species are divided in to three sections: Erythrorhiza, which contains the rosetted species; Ergalium, which has the climbing and erect species; and Stolonifera, which contains semi-erect plants.
