Add a bit of intrigue to your plant collection with the Drosera capensis Cape Sundew, a unique carnivorous plant with slender leaves covered in glistening, sticky droplets. This sundew is a fascinating and decorative plant to grow as it naturally attracts and traps small insects with its specialized leaves.
Drosera capensis is native to South Africa and does best in bright light and likes its growing medium to be consistently moist. For best results water with rainwater or distilled water as carnivorous plants can be sensitive to minerals found in tap water.
Cape Sundew is an eccentric choice for plant lovers, ideal for sunny windowsills, conservatories and carnivorous plant collections, and makes a memorable gift for anyone who likes something a little different.
