Drosera capensis
Drosera capensis - The easiest of all the Sundews to grow, and also one of the most spectacular with its mobile leaves that roll up over the victim. Long lasting pink flowers stand above a clump of glistening green leaves with red gland stalks. Really pretty when the sun shines on the dew. Originating from South Africa, Drosera capensis will do well on a sunny windowsill, conservatory or cold greenhouse. It is very good at catching smaller flies such as midges and mosquitoes, up to small houseflies. Can be grown outside in summer.

Drosera Plant Care
Watering
Keep this plant moist. To make it easy, keep the plant on a dish filled with water. As soon as it is dry refill it.
Location
Keep the Drosera in a light place. If the plant loses its “dew” this is an indication that it needs more humidity. Move to a more humid environment or cover it with glass.
Of the Drosera’s in our current range, the Drosera filiformis, nidiformis and binata are all winter hardy. This does not apply to the rest and they should be brought in before the start of the winter.
Fertilizer
The Drosera does not need fertilizer.
