Description

Drosera capensisDrosera capensis aka the Cape Sundew is a great starter plant for those new to the carnivorous plant hobby (and an old favorite of veterans!) The 'typical' form displays green petioles with pink dew and has delicate pink flowers. Photos are representative of plants for sale, which are at or near flowering size. Sundews are potted in a house mix comprised of peat moss and perlite. Other components such as sand may be present depending on species.
