Drosera 'Lantau Island'
Lantau Island Sundew
Drosera sp. Lantau Island (oblanceolata x spatulata) can be traced back to mountainous China. Plants are typically located near the base of mountains. Plants range in color depending on amount of light it receives, more light equals a redder color. Like most sundews, they love sunshine and do not require nutrition from soil as they get their nutrition from their prey (bugs).

Propagating by division
From Early Spring TO Late Winter
Drosera tend to form clumps over time, and the clumps can easily be divided and the divisions re-planted
