I got a bunch of random tubers as a gift and most turned out to be that species.

Boy... What an awesome gift! I haven't tried tuber Drosera yet, how different are they from the other Aussie varieties?

Well they only grow during the winter. It’s kind of weird to see them look like they are completely dead when the growing season is over. Then you dig up the pot and find a bunch of little tubers. You don’t water them during summer or you can dig them up and keep them in a bag until the growing season comes again. But they aren’t really any different than other sundews to me other than the fact they only grow part of the year and make tubers.

Do you find that they need cooler temps than your normal dews to thrive?

Nope. They just sit on my rack with all kinds of other dews. Tropical, temperate, sub-tropical, etc.

Hmm.... Should have looked into these before BCP order... Hahaha

Added a few things I got from my visit to Peyflytrap.com
