Drosera anglica is a Drosera native to temperate regions of North America, Europe and northern Asia. It can reach 30cm (one foot) high and 25 to 50mm (1 to 2 inches) in width. Its leaves are tapered and covered with long hairs, each with a sticky drop at the end. The red stem develops from a rosette. The plant develops small white flowers on a 3-inch long stem, in summer. The plant feeds on insects to make up for the lack of nitrogen in the soils in which it evolves. When an insect is caught in the tentacle, the leaf curls inward, the insect then comes into contact with fine hairs which secrete a digestive enzyme. Only the insect's skeleton will remain, the rest will be absorbed by the leaf. Use a soil composed of 3 parts of sphagnum moss to one part of sand. Also consider a mixture of sphagnum moss and sand.
