General:

Drosera are a carnivorous plant that use specialized leaves coated in sticky dew to lure, trap, and digest insects. There are many species of sundew – the genus (Drosera) can be found growing in every continent except Antarctica. Drosera are good at catching small flies like fruit flies and fungus gnats. While they are no replacement for pesticide or exterminators, they are pretty fun to have around and make good companions for houseplant collections. Fungus gnats, often found in houseplant soil make good snacks for these plants. The plant you receive will look similar to the plants shown in the images. We will ensure to sell the best we have available first!

Specific:

The Drosera capensis is the ultimate beginner carnivorous plant! Though the plants do their best with lots of light, Drosera capensis are an easy growing carnivorous plant and can adapt to and do well growing on a windowsill. When plants are healthy they are extra attractive and sticky. Lots of sticky dew is a good sign of a healthy sundew. The plants we sell are roughly 14cm across and should be grown in a 8.9cm (3.5″) pot. Instructions can be found here on how to care for these plants! Sundews are definitely our best-selling plants, when the plant is healthy its beautiful dew and bright colour are just a few of its best qualities.

Shipping:

This plant will ship bare root. It will be placed in a plastic bag in a box with its roots wrapped in a small amount of its medium and a paper towel. This keeps the plant moist and reduces damage that can be caused by shipping. Please message if you would rather pick up.
