Description
Drosera binata grows in peaty soils in swampy areas and along the banks of creeks. It is unusual in that it has narrow, branching leaves which uncoil in a manner similar to ferns. The white flowers occur in clusters of up to 30 and can be seen in spring to summer.
Droseras are popular plants in cultivation, especially for growing in containers. Drosera binata is regarded as one of the easier species to grow, preferring an acid potting mix such as those with a high component of peat. Pot-grown plants can be kept moist by standing the pot in a saucer of water so that the mix is kept moist through capillary action. The plant can also be grown in a bog garden situation in the open ground.
Drosera binata grows readily from seed which does not require any pre-treatment. Cuttings from leaf stems are also successful.
