Protocarnivorous plant from South Africa.
It produces a very persistent glue that captures even rather large insects.
This plant cannot digest its prey, but lives in symbiosis with an insect, the Pameridea roridulae, which feeds on these catches and then leaves its excrement on the leaves of the roridula which draws nourishment from it.
The soil must be low in nutrients and absolutely draining because it has quite delicate roots, repotting must be done by enlarging the pot avoiding disturbing the roots. It loves direct sunlight all day, place it in a windy area.
It resists temperatures down to a few degrees below zero.
The symbiotic insects hibernate or at least survive the eggs that hatch in May-June
Regarding watering: Keep a constant cm during the warmer months, in the mid-seasons and in winter, dose a cm and wait until it has completely finished before re-dosing in the saucer.
