Drosera Graomogolensis

Drosera graomogolensis is a carnivorous plant belonging to the Drosera genus, native to the mountainous regions of Brazil, particularly the Minas Gerais area. This plant is endemic and grows in specific habitats such as sandy soils or rocky areas rich in moisture and sunlight, typical of high-altitude areas.

Main features:

• Leaves: It has long, thin leaves covered in sticky glands (tentacles), which release a viscous liquid to trap insects. The leaves are delicately curled around their prey to aid digestion.
• Color: The leaves vary in color from light green to red, depending on the intensity of the light.
• Flowers: Produces small, delicate flowers, often pink or white, which grow on a thin stem above the foliage.
• Habitat: It is adapted to conditions of high light, constant humidity, and nutrient-poor soil. Like all carnivorous plants, it obtains nutrients primarily from its prey.

Curiosity:

• The name "graomogolensis" comes from the Grão Mogol region in Minas Gerais, where the plant was first identified.
• It is a species particularly loved by carnivorous plant enthusiasts for its exotic appearance and relative ease of cultivation compared to other Drosera species.
