Product Information

Full details

Enhance your windowsill with the charming Cape Sundew. Drosera capensis, a carnivorous perennial that thrives in marshy environments, adds a captivating touch to your indoor space. Best placed in a saucer filled with rainwater, this plant features long, adhesive leaves resembling dewdrops, enticing small insects such as fruit flies and midges. Once captured, these insects are digested, leaving behind their exoskeletons. With its insect-feasting capabilities, the plant requires no additional feeding. Height and spread: 20cm (8 inches). Supplied in a 9cm grow pot (decorative pots are not included). The cape sundew works by wrapping its unique stems around any insect that is unfortunate enough to land on the plant and prevents them from escaping. It is a rather interesting sight to behold and with its appealing looks and practical application it is a brilliant addition to any windowsill or sunny spot in the house. We recommend watering this plant from below during the growing season, the best way to do this is to place a saucer filled with 1cm of soft water underneath the potted plant so it can absorb the water through its roots. When the plant is dormant, however, only water when the compost gets dry and make sure the excess water can drain away freely. Position: Full Sun Height: Up to 15cm when fully established Spread: Up to 20cm when fully established. Supplied as 1 x Drosera Capensis Plant in a 9cm Pot Images shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity. Different growing conditions might vary results. Image may be included for illustration of supply but can vary due to seasonality changes e.g. deciduous plants lose leaves in colder months. The Cape Sundew, a captivating carnivorous plant, adds a touch of the exotic to any sunny spot. Its fascinating trapping mechanism - gently ensnaring unsuspecting insects - is a captivating spectacle. This attractive plant is surprisingly easy to maintain, thriving in full sun. For optimal growth, water from below during the growing season using a saucer with approximately 1cm of soft water. Reduce watering during dormancy, ensuring the compost dries out between waterings and excess water drains freely. Reaching up to 15cm in height and spreading to 20cm, this Drosera Capensis arrives in a 9cm pot. Note that the image is a guide to the mature plant and variations may occur due to growing conditions and seasonality.Important note: Some houseplants can be toxic or harmful to pets if ingested. If you suspect your pet has consumed a poisonous plant, seek veterinary attention immediately, and bring a sample of the plant with you.
