Drosera spiralis


Question
I realize that you do not answer questions about cultivation. I previously located information on how to grow Drosera spiralis. However, when I tried to locate this again I was not able to do so. Please direct me to where to find information on this species from your website.

Mahalo,
Dave

Answer
Hi Dave,

Drosera spiralis is very similar to many of the South African sundews in culture.  They are a tropical from high elevations, so they prefer cool conditions, but bright light.  General directions are here:  http://www.cobraplant.com/caresheets/tropicalsundews  Soil, water, sun exposure is the same as for most sundews, but D. spiralis does prefer day temperatures in the 70's to low 80's with nights down in the 50's and 60's.  If you live in a higher elevation in Hawaii this will be simple, but lower elevations may be challenging.  Lots of cool water in the soil will help along white pots.

Good Growing!
