Drosera Rotundifolia, also known as the Round-leaved Sundew, is a lovely carnivorous plant that features signature circular traps. Its leaves are rounded, lime-green and lined with long red sticky tentacles. It is a medium-sized sundew and naturally grows in damp, boggy conditions with mottled sunlight. One of the best-known Drosera species, D. rotundifolia has been widely studied and used to better understand carnivorous habits. In ideal conditions, it blooms delicate white flowers and readily self-seeds, producing dense colonies over time.
If you're looking for a plant that is functional and fun to observe, consider carnivorous species. They work beautifully in terrariums and vivariums, or as individual potted plants. Ensure they are planted in a consistently moist growing medium like sphagnum moss. If you live in drier conditions, consider placing them in a shallow dish of RO water.

"I AM TRYING TO CREATE A BOG IN THE CENTER OF A FISH TANK. THIS WAS ONE OF MY FIRST PLANTINGS AND THE AREA WAS MUCH TOO WET, THE PLANTS MELTED IN TWO DAYS. OTHER THAN THAT, LOTS OF LITTLE PLANTS ALL HEALTHY AND DELIVERED QUICKLY. I WILL GET MOISTURE, HUMIDITY AND SOIL ALL UNDER CONTROL BEFORE I TRY AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN…GOOD STUFF, MY FAULT!"
"All went very well with my purchase from Glass Aqua. Ordering, shipping, packaging and product were all better than expected. I, on the other hand, did not do so well in handling the tissue culture. My fault. I transferred the small plants to several different environments. Some plants are OK, some are probably dead. So, I am still quite pleased with the outcome. My hobby is outdoor bogs, not terrariums."
