Description:
Drosera binata, commonly known as the forked sundew, is a fascinating carnivorous plant native to Australia and New Zealand. It features narrow, branching leaves that are dichotomously divided, making it an effective insect trapper. This perennial thrives in coastal areas below 3,280 feet and can be found in both temperate and tropical climates. Some varieties, like the T-form, have green foliage that turns red with age, while others, such as var. dichotoma, display yellowish leaves with multiple leaf points. The plant is known for its large, sprawling growth and pink glandular leaves. It prefers open, sunny, boggy conditions and requires high-quality water, such as rain or distilled water. Drosera binata can flower multiple times from June to September, producing white blossoms on tall red scapes. It is easily propagated by division of its thick, black, hairy roots and is suitable for bog gardens, greenhouses, and indoor cultivation.
