    Native to the South American continent,
    Drosera sessilifolia
    is beautiful, small rosette-forming carnivorous plant species having spoon-triangular-like leaves up to 0.7 inch (2,0 cm) long. It is one of the easiest and fastest carnivorous plants to grow and care.  It is a free-flowering and fascinating house plant that may bloom after short 6 months after sowing. The plant may live 3 years or more if well fed and cared, producing seedlings during the way! It may be treated as a summer annual plant collecting the seed and sowing them again, each generation should be more adapted to your growing conditions.
    Growing
    Drosera sessilifolia
    is fun and simple. The leaves are densely covered with stalked tentacles (trichomes or leaf hairs) that secrete sticky mucilage with enzymes to attract and catch inserts. The tentacles are very sensitive and mobile. Once an insert is trapped on a leaf, its movements contact triggers a curling reaction. The leaf wraps around the insect and produces more digestive glands in contact with its prey, eventually digesting and absorbing the victim's nutrients until only the external skeleton remains.
    Drosera sessilifolia's
    unique tentacles present a very fast movement reaction when touched!. These are called snap tentacles, and they surround all the outer edge of the leaf, when touched, after a few seconds, they will quickly bend over the prey!
    Note
    : Do not feed regular animal meat, it will not be digested and may cause fungi or pests around your plants.
    Cultivation:
    Carnivorous plants WILL NOT tolerate salts and minerals; do not water with tap city water or hard water. Only rainwater, reverse osmosis or distilled water should be used, this is essential to this plant, otherwise slow decay and death will overcome in weeks. This water can be found at aquariums and some nurseries. It needs to be kept constantly moist to wet, the pot sitting on a 1cm water level (during winter let it dry completely before watering).
    DO NOT FERTILIZE!
    Drosera burmanii
    needs full sun to light shade for at least 4 hours a day. Acidic soil mix of 50:50 peat and sand/perlite, or pure long fibered Sphagnum moss works fine. The pots may be of 3” deep or more for better results. Temperature can range from 45 to 90F. The plant can grow in clumps, producing a delightful result.
    Germination:
    Seeds start to germinate up to 30days after sowing over chopped sphagnum moss or really moist peat, cover the container with plastic and bring a fluorescent light near them (incandescent light is too hot for this) weekly spray water over the seeds that need to be Sprinkled over the medium, do not bury them. Transplant when they are 5mm or bigger to a place where the conditions above said are met.
