Care Instructions:
1. Light:
Bright, Indirect Sunlight: Place your Drosera aliciae in a location where it can receive bright, indirect sunlight. A south or east-facing window is ideal. Avoid direct midday sun to prevent leaf burn.
2. Water:
Keep Soil Moist: Use distilled water or rainwater to keep the soil consistently moist. Avoid tap water, as it may contain minerals that can harm the plant. A tray of water beneath the pot can help maintain humidity.
3. Soil:
Acidic, Well-Draining Mix: Use a specialized carnivorous plant soil mix or a combination of sphagnum moss, perlite, and peat. This ensures proper drainage and mimics the plant's natural habitat.
4. Humidity:
High Humidity Required: Maintain humidity levels above 50%. If your home is dry, consider using a humidity tray or misting the plant regularly.
5. Feeding:
Insect Diet: Allow the plant to catch small insects like fruit flies or gnats. If indoors, you may need to supplement with insect feed every few weeks during the growing season.
6. Temperature:
Ideal Range: Keep temperatures between 20-30°C (68-86°F) during the day and slightly cooler at night.
Additional Tips:
- Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and encourage healthy growth.
- Seasonal Care: Drosera aliciae typically grows actively in spring and summer. Reduce watering in the fall and winter when the plant may enter dormancy.
