The perfect beginner's plant! Named for its natural habitat, the cape region of South Africa, Cape sundews grow vigorously and produces large leaves at maturity. Each leaf is covered with sticky gooey dew. When a fly lands on it, the leaf slowly curls around it to get the most out of the insect. Look for tall stalks of purple flowers as the plant matures, and watch them ripen with seed. A cool-tropical species, Drosera capensis 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. Bright light is key to growing it! An adult plant can reach up to 6 inches across.

    Arrived well packed and in great health, and it has been ridding my apartment of fruit flies like a little champion! I realized that there are actually 2 plants, 1 was just teeny tiny when it got here, but it has 3 leaves now as well.
