SUNDEW: Drosera Capensis, Typical Form
- Species: Drosera
- Native to South Africa, the cape sundew (also known as the octopus plant) grows vigorously and produces rather large leaves at maturity
- Each leaf is covered with sticky gooey dew. When an insect lands on it, the leaf slowly curls around it to get the most out of the insect
- As a mountainous species, this plant likes a very sunny window with mild temperatures. It may slow down significantly during the hottest parts of summer, but watch it take off again when the weather cools down
- Fantastic candidate plant for beginner carnivorous plant enthusiasts
- Carefully select the 'Delivery option' - how you will receive you plant
- Note that the shipping options are set up according to the volumetric weight of the parcel ie. if you choose the 'collect from us' delivery option, we assume you will either be collecting your plants from our premises or have them hand delivered and there will be no Postnet or Courier shipping option available at the checkout section
- Cape Sundews do not require a dormancy period and will grow throughout the year
- As a mountainous species, this plant likes a very sunny window with mild temperatures. It may slow down significantly during the hottest parts of summer, but watch it take off again when the weather cools down
- Flowering requires a lot of energy and might cause your plant to lose it's dew - Cut flower stalks when they emerge for a healthier, dewy plant
