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
- 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
