The forked-leaf sundew, Drosera binata, is an unusual looking plant, bearing ‘forked’ leaves covered in tiny hairs, capable of trapping insects and spiders.
Drosera binata var. multifida is a particularly attractive variety, its trailing, red-tentacled leaves giving the plant an almost fern-like appearance. It’s a good choice for growing in a hanging basket if you can keep the soil moist, as this is the best way to show off its incredible forked leaves, which can trail down over the side.
Grow Drosera binata var. multifida in full sun in a nutrient-poor, acidic medium such as a peat-free specialist carnivorous compost. Keep well watered, ideally with rainwater.
