2 Inch Drosera intermedia – Wholesale Pack of 45 Plants
Expand your carnivorous plant selection with the elegant and highly collectible Drosera intermedia, commonly known as the Oblong-Leaved Sundew. Native to nutrient-poor bogs across North America, Europe, and South America, this fascinating carnivorous species produces graceful, upright leaves adorned with shimmering, ruby-tipped glandular tentacles. These glistening droplets naturally attract, capture, and digest small insects, making every plant both a conversation piece and an effective natural insect hunter.
Each plant is professionally grown in a 2-inch nursery pot and shipped in a wholesale box containing 45 healthy plants. Drosera intermedia is an outstanding addition to carnivorous plant collections, bog gardens, terrariums, educational displays, and specialty plant retailers. Its compact growth habit, sparkling foliage, and fascinating feeding behavior make it a favorite among beginners and experienced collectors alike.
Unlike many tropical sundews, Drosera intermedia is a temperate species that naturally experiences seasonal dormancy, making it an excellent choice for outdoor bog gardens in suitable climates as well as indoor collections with proper care. During the growing season, healthy plants continuously produce dew-covered leaves that sparkle beautifully under bright lighting while actively trapping fungus gnats, fruit flies, and other tiny insects.
