Identifying Drosera spatulata from a Big-Box Store

Lowe's/Agristarts Plants Are Tropical Australian Form

A grower asked for species ID and temperament (temperate/subtropical/tropical) of a Drosera from Lowe's, plus recovery after separation.

It's the Tropical Australian D. spatulata

All mass-produced ones come from Agristarts III (Florida). It's tropical. Low light caused weak growth; under bright conditions it will recover fast. Lose old leaves, cut them off. New growth will be normal.

Good Growing!
