Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Drosera pulchella, the Pretty Pygmy Sundew, is a jewel-sized Western Australian carnivorous plant with a neat, ground-hugging rosette. Broad leaf stalks end in rounded traps fringed with glistening, sticky tentacles that catch tiny insects. Slender flower stems carry blooms that may be pink, lilac, white, orange or red, sometimes appearing almost as large as the plant itself. Small vegetative buds called gemmae cluster in the centre during Djeran (Autumn), allowing it to form charming miniature colonies. Grow it in a deep pot of nutrient-poor sphagnum peat mixed with washed silica or quartz sand. Give it plenty of bright sun to encourage strong colour and sparkling dew, while protecting the pot from extreme heat during Bunuru (Late Summer). Keep the mix consistently moist throughout the year using rainwater, distilled water or reverse-osmosis water, but avoid deep, stagnant flooding. Do not use ordinary potting mix or conventional fertiliser. Fresh gemmae can be scattered over the wet surface during Djeran (Autumn) to produce new plants.

Height 1–3 cm; flower stems usually reach about 3–5 cm.

Width 2–3 cm per rosette; can form a wider colony from gemmae.
