It is well-suited for terrariums, bog gardens, or outdoor planters in temperate climates. This hardy plant requires minimal care, as it obtains nutrients from capturing small insects. Perfect for both beginners and experienced growers, Drosera rotundifolia adds both beauty and functionality to any space with its unique insect-trapping capabilities and charming round leaves.
