Drosera capensis, Broad Leaf
$14.95
Named for its natural habitat, the cape region of South Africa, Cape sundews grow vigorously and produces large leaves at maturity. It's considered a mountainous plant, so it likes a very sunny window with mild temperatures. The broad leaf form has wider leaves than the more common narrow leaf form. It also grows slower than other forms of Cape sundews and is more temperamental to hot conditions. However, it matures into a larger plant overall.
Type of Plant: Tropical plant for windowsill growing.
Size: 6 inches across when mature.
Sunlight: Partial sun. Avoid hot sunlight.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts peat moss and perlite only.
Temperatures: Tolerant of cool temperatures but always protect from frost.

Great!
This little guy has been catching all the fruit flies in our small apartment! It is growing new leaves all the time and seems to be happy just sitting in his cup of water and in our window. I put mirrors on either side of the window box to get it more light but that should only be a problem in winter.

Arrived perfect
Regained dew in about a week or two. Has taken off since arriving despite my home being dry due to winter. Seems happy on my desk under a cfl lamp.

A gift that keeps on giving!
What a fantastic little plant. I have had a Drosera capensis that I purchased from Sarracenia NW over 5 years ago, and it is still growing strong! Not only has the mother plant thrived over the years, but I have propagated literally hundreds of new plants from simple leaf cuttings. Truly a plant that will enrich your life for many many years!
