Cape Sundews (Drosera capensis) for Beginners
Cape Sundews are delightful carnivorous plants native to South Africa, known for their beautiful, sticky leaves that trap and digest insects. They are considered one of the easiest to grow in our range. Very forgiving and adaptable, they are perfect for terrariums, outdoor patios, and indoor environments with artificial lighting. The Cape Sundews in our ‘for beginners' range are at least 3 years old (4-6cm) and are available in three sizes
One of the great advantages of Cape Sundews is that they do not require dormancy. Given the right conditions, these plants will grow throughout the year

Quick FAQ
Why is my Cape Sundew growing a woody stem?
No need to worry! As your Cape Sundew matures, older leaves die back while new ones keep growing on top - leaving behind a little “woody trunk.” It’s completely normal and just part of their awesome dewy charm
