The woolly sundews are otherwise known as part of the petiolaris complex. The petiolaris complex group of sundews are some of the most interesting of genus. They have numerous leaves, which typically for the subgenus consist of a long, hairy petiole supporting a nearly round lamina.

The plants are from the Northern Territory in Australia and prefer hot temperatures, lots of light and high humidity. In their habitat they experience 6 months of dry dormancy and 6 months of wet growing season; however, if kept wet they will grow year round. We recommend growing all petiolaris complex drosera in a mix of half peat to half perlite. They should be kept warm  and the photoperiod should be kept at a constant 12-14 hours. If exposed to a longer photoperiod, dormancy may be induced. Excellent terrarium plant
