Pygmy sundews are a subgenus (Bryastrum) of Drosera that are all very small. Native to western Australia, these plants grow in sandy soils that experience cool wet winters and hot dry summers. They reproduce using small brood bodies called gemmae, and often become dormant in warmer weather, dying back to a cone shaped mass of stipules. A tiny species of pygmy sundew that has long, red tentacled leaves. It seems to grow slightly upright and produce tightly packed leaves. The plants I have flowered for me before, and the tiny white flowers aren't even 1 cm across. Pretty straightforward species of pygmy. Likes to be fed often and potted in a sandy mix. I water once a week using the tray system, and that seems to work pretty well.
