Please note: this is a winter growing species and is dormant between April- October. Drosera macrantha is another winter-growing member of the Drosera peltata complex, sharing the same seasonal cycle and tuberous dormancy as D. auriculata. Growth resumes in fall and continues through winter before the plants disappear entirely during the hotter months. Compared to D. auriculata, this species tends to be more robust, with thicker stems and larger flowers, a trait reflected in the name macrantha. The leaves lack the ear-like lobes of its close relative but otherwise follow the same climbing, pad-bearing pattern typical of the group. The plants offered here were grown from tuber offsets and are established in 3.25-inch pots.When the plants die back at the beginning of summer, remove the pots from their water trays and allow them to dry out, but ensure the pots are protected from intense light and heat. Once a month, gently top water the pots so the soil does not completely dessicate. Around September place the pots back into water trays and await their new growth!
