Description: Drosera filiformis tracyi - A Stunning Sundew with Long Dewy Tentacles Add a fascinating touch to your plant collection with the Drosera filiformis tracyi, known for its long, dewy tentacles that trap and digest prey. This eye-catching sundew currently stands 4-6 inches tall but can grow up to 12 inches or more. It thrives in full or partial sun and is highly heat-tolerant, withstanding temperatures over 90°F. Each plant is shipped potted in a 2-inch container filled with sustainably sourced Canadian peat, which helps reduce plant shock and ensures a faster return to full dewy splendor. This is definitely one of my favorite plants to look at. It was on my wish-list for a while and then eventually my mother plant was gifted to me as a tip for working at a plant show. 🌟 Key Features:Species: Drosera filiformis tracyiSize: 4-6 inches tall (can grow up to 12 inches or more depending on conditions)Heat Tolerance: Handles temperatures over 90°FDewy Tentacles: Perfect for catching prey 🚚 Shipping & Guarantee:Shipping Method: Priority Mail USPSGuarantee: If your plant doesn’t arrive alive, simply send pictures upon delivery for a replacement or refund.Plant Variation: Plants naturally vary, so your plant may differ slightly from the example photo (photos 1 and 2 show my mother plant; and photos 3 and 4 are representative of the plant you'll receive). If you'd like a photo of your exact plant, just ask!Potting Medium: Shipped potted in high-quality, Canadian peat moss from sustainably managed bogs, which helps retain moisture and ensures your plant arrives in optimal condition. 🌿 Care Instructions:Water: Keep in 1-2 inches of distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water at all times.Light: Thrives in partial to full sun. Gradual acclimation to full outdoor sun is recommended but not always necessary. Can do well on a sunny windowsill that receives direct sunlight.Temperature: Ideal range is 25-85°F. While it can tolerate brief extremes, temps below 50°F may trigger dormancy.Dormancy: Recommended during winter when the plant’s leaves die back, but not required. For cold climates, overwinter indoors in a sunny spot, keeping the plant in water.Potting Medium: Avoid using a potting medium with nutrients or minerals. For most sundews, I typically use straight peat moss, but you can also mix with sand if you'd like more drainage. The peat moss I use is available in my shop. If you’d like to combine shipping, I can fit some plants into the box of peat moss—just let me know! 🌱 Additional Tips:Regaining Dew: The plant should regain its dew within a few weeks if conditions are right. If dew is lost, check water levels and try increasing light exposure.Troubleshooting: Ensure adequate water and consider increasing light exposure if your plant isn’t thriving.
