Drosera adelae is among the easiest Drosera to grow. In fact it can become a weed in collections because it sends out long roots that sprout new plants everywhere you do not want it. The plant grows as well in pure water as it does in all the neighboring pots irrespective of soil mix. It does best in very humid conditions but does not require the very warm temperatures typical of its homeland. Because of the humidity requirement it does not work well as a house plant unless your house is very humid.

Drosera adelae is among the easiest Drosera to grow. In fact it can become a weed in collections because it sends out long roots that sprout new plants everywhere you do not want it. The plant grows as well in pure water as it does in all the neighboring pots irrespective of soil mix. It does best in very humid conditions but does not require the very warm temperatures typical of its homeland. Because of the humidity requirement it does not work well as a house plant unless your house is very humid. It is not as sensitive to foliar fertilizers and dried blood worms as its sisters. Like them, though, it does like live small flies such as Drosophila best. The plants will decline if they are not fed well. This species is very easy to propagate from leaf cuttings, root cuttings, and flower stalks if you dare. The plant will bloom occasionally but the flowers do not self pollinate. If you hand pollinate the flowers you might get a seed or two.
