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
