Drosera Capensis (Triffid Rose) • Cape sundew hybrid • Triffid Park, AUS

Description

• Species: Drosera
• Drosera Capensis Triffid Rose is a hybrid between the typical and red forms of Capensis.  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 for beginner carnivorous plant enthusiasts
• D. Capensis cv Triffid Rose is a high-end collector plant and only available while current stocks last

Care

• 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

• Because Cultivo is a boutique-style store, most of our collector’s plants are one-of-a-kind “exact plant pictured” or limited seasonal releases. That means once they’re sold, they’re gone - so standard restock notifications aren’t practical here
• A few seasonal plants or variants of small-batch releases may return in the future. If that happens, we’ll update the original listing with new photos and details
