These glistening droplets aren't water. They're the plant's specialized trapping mechanism for catching tiny insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen an insect lands on the foliage, the sticky mucilage traps it while the plant slowly digests its prey and absorbs nutrients that are scarce in its naturally nutrient-poor habitat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder strong lighting, Drosera spatulata can develop beautiful pink, red, and burgundy coloration while continuously producing fresh, dew-covered leaves.
