Drosera Aliciae is a fascinating carnivorous plant native to South Africa. It belongs to the Droseraceae family and is known for its distinctive sticky leaves, which are used to catch insects. The name 'Aliciae' is a tribute to Alice Pegler, a South African botanist known for her work on native flora.

Physically, Drosera Aliciae is a compact rosette plant that can grow up to 5 cm in height. Its leaves, about 2.5 cm long, are light green to red in color, depending on the exposure to the sun. The leaves are covered with glandular hairs that produce a sticky substance. When an insect lands on the leaf, it is immediately trapped by this substance. The plant then digests the insect to obtain additional nutrients.

Drosera Aliciae blooms in winter with white flowers that appear on a 10 cm high flower stalk. The flowers open one at a time and each flower lasts only one day.

Drosera Aliciae cultivation is relatively simple compared to other carnivorous plants. It prefers a humid environment with plenty of light. It can be grown in a substrate of sphagnum peat and sand.

In summary, Drosera Aliciae is an attractive and interesting carnivorous plant, perfect for plant lovers looking for something a little different. Its charm lies in its deadly beauty: a beauty that attracts insects to their eventual demise.
