Repotting a Clumping Drosera spatulata

When and How to Divide a Crowded Spoon‑Leaf Sundew

Drosera spatulata forms tight clumps quickly. The 6–12 month guideline is general; repot when the plant fills the pot or pushes upward on a column of old leaves.

Division Tips

• Gently tease roots apart—fine roots break easily.
• Single plants grow larger; clumps stay compact.
• Repot anytime (tropical species); use 1:1 peat/sand or peat/perlite.

No harm in waiting, but division rejuvenates growth and gives you more plants.
