Description:
Drosera nidiformis, a tropical African sundew, is a carnivorous plant native to the wetlands of South Africa. Known for its sticky, insect-trapping leaves, this medium-sized sundew exhibits a fascinating thigmotropic response, curling its leaves around prey. It features green leaves with red tentacles and produces pink flowers in summer. The plant thrives in nutrient-poor, acidic soils and requires warm conditions, as it does not tolerate cold or undergo dormancy. Its unique adaptations make it a captivating addition to any carnivorous plant collection.
