Drosera kaieteurensis is a small carnivorous sundew from the tepuis (table-top mountains) of Guyana and Venezuela, forming tiny red rosettes that trap insects on sticky glandular leaves. It needs cool, humid, bright conditions with wet roots and is best kept as a specialist plant rather than a casual houseplant.
Drosera kaieteurensis is a plant from the sundew family (Droseraceae).
Drosera kaieteurensis is found in the tepuis on the border area of Guyana and Venezuela, at altitudes of 460-2,400m, on sandy soils or on moss-grown rock. There may also be occurrences in Trinidad and Tobago.
