Drosera dilatato-petiolaris is from western and northern territories of Australia.  The do appreciate being quite warm, but special setups are not always required for some of the easier petiolaris Drosera such as this one, or minimal effort like a seedling heater under the pot. Peat and perlite can work just fine, but for these guys I go with 2/1/1 peat/perlite/sand mix. 3.5" is a great size for these plants, they can get up to around 5", as shown in photos. Plants will clump over time.  There are lots of good guides on growing these beautiful and unique plants on Terraforums.com and otherwise on the internet such as this one discussing dormancy (which I almost completely bypass by keeping warm and wet as mentioned in the post) https://terraforums.com/forums/threads/crash-course-guide-for-petiolaris-dormancy.129846/

 

Shipped bare root out of Tucson Az where this plant can be shipped out all year safely. BUT pay attention to the rest of the US and your location.  Heat packs could be required during cold months for safe delivery.

Photo shows many clumped plants in one pot and then those plants freshly potted out. Size and such may vary, as this is a plant and can go through different growth cycles but is a mature plant.
