Cape Sundew (Drosera capensis) - Small

Discover the fascinating Cape Sundew, a captivating carnivorous plant native to South Africa's subtropical regions. This remarkable species thrives in bright conditions—position it on a sunny south-facing windowsill during summer months, or relocate outdoors for optimal growth. Come winter, move it indoors to maintain vitality. These plants flourish in consistently wet, boggy conditions, so keep them standing in a water tray year-round, reducing moisture slightly during dormancy. Feed them rainwater or reverse osmosis water to prevent mineral buildup that stunts growth. Plant in nutrient-poor soil using equal parts peat moss and perlite. Watch as your sundew naturally traps flying insects with its sticky tentacles—no manual feeding required. A truly rewarding addition for carnivorous plant enthusiasts.
