Sticky is an understatement! These snap tentacles are specialized structures that do not contain dew. They are typically at the very edge of the leaf. When "teased", these tentacles quickly fold inward. These are very noticeable on D. burmannii, which can close over prey in seconds.


Drosera burmannii is found in northern and eastern Australia, India, China, Japan, and south east Asia. There are various forms that range in size from less than 1 cm to about 3 cm across and may be golden green, dark green, green with red tentacles or all red. 

Seed grown annual. In the wild D. burmannii and D. sessifolia grow as annuals. They grow very quickly, bloom, set seed, and die. You can maintain both for a number of years if you keep the plants in favorable condition and remove flower stalks immediately. Plants should be repotted when the mat of old leaves starts to interfere with the root production. During repotting there are usually some losses, it is best to let one or two plants go to seed to replace them. Flowering plants will reduce in size if not fed regularly. Does best grown as a subtropical. Seeds germinate best around 70°- 85°f. 
Grown in 2in-4in pots with carnivorous plant soil in trays of water. 1 peat : 2 sand. Needs 12-14 hours sunlight or LED lighting indoors.
