2" Cape Sundew (Drosera)
Product Details
Brand: Plant
Description
Cape Sundew, also known as Drosera capensis, is a fascinating carnivorous plant known for its slender leaves covered in sticky, dew-like droplets. These sparkling droplets help the plant catch small insects, making it both beautiful and functional. Its unique look and active feeding habit make it a standout choice for plant collectors, terrariums, sunny windowsills, and anyone interested in carnivorous plants.
Light Requirements
Cape Sundew prefers very bright light and can handle several hours of direct sun, especially gentle morning sun. A sunny windowsill or strong grow light will help support healthy growth, strong color, and better dew production.
Watering
Keep the soil consistently moist at all times. Cape Sundew should never dry out completely. Use distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water only, as tap water can contain minerals that may damage the plant over time. A shallow tray of water under the pot works well to keep the soil evenly moist.
Temperature & Humidity
Cape Sundew prefers warm indoor temperatures and moderate to higher humidity. It usually adapts well to normal household conditions as long as it receives enough light and moisture. Keep it away from cold drafts, air vents, and temperatures below 50–55°F.
Pet Safety
Cape Sundew is generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. It is still best to keep it out of reach of pets that like to chew on plants, as the sticky leaves can be easily damaged.
Best For
Cape Sundew is best for carnivorous plant beginners, sunny windowsills, terrariums, plant collectors, and anyone who wants a unique, insect-catching plant with eye-catching foliage and easy-care carnivorous plant needs.
