Drosera intermedia is one of the most common temperate carnivorous plants in the world, especially in America and North Europe.
This enormous diffusion also entails a large variability of the species, which is rich in populations present in many temperate peat bogs, all characterized by some peculiarities that distinguish them from other populations.
The plants I sell are produced by self-fecundation from cultivated plants, originating from one population in Germany. Plants of this type grow well outside, throughout the year. This plant can tolerate the frost very well, and during summer need to be repaired by too hot, otherwise it will create summer ibernacles to protect itselves, but will hardly die, unless water (strictly demineralized) is ever missing. In the best times it can reach a diameter of 6-7 cm and tend to become ruby-red if kept in direct sunlight.
This species loves direct sunlight and abundant water in the vegetative season. During the winter months, the plant closes into a ibernacle until the arrival of the next spring. The seeds of temperate species such as Drosera intermedia or rotundifolia, has winter dormancy, and need a period of stratification.
The plants I sell will be shipped with bare root in padded envelope. During the winter months, the plants shipped will not have leaves, but only ibernacles.
