Drosera capillaris, commonly known as the Pink Sundew, is a small but striking carnivorous plant native to parts of North, Central, and South America. It forms a low, rosette of spoon-shaped leaves, each lined with glistening, glandular hairs that secrete sticky mucilage to trap unsuspecting insects. Despite its compact size, this species is a highly effective hunter and thrives in nutrient-poor, acidic environments.

This sundew prefers bright, direct to strong indirect light and consistently moist conditions, best achieved using distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. It grows well in a soil mix of sphagnum moss and perlite or silica sand. With adequate lighting, the leaves often take on a rich red or pink hue, enhancing its visual appeal. During the growing season, Drosera capillaris may send up thin flower stalks topped with delicate pink or lavender blooms.

Easy to care for and visually charming, Drosera capillaris is a fantastic choice for terrariums, windowsills, or outdoor bog gardens. Its small stature and sparkling tentacles make it a favorite among both beginner and experienced carnivorous plant enthusiasts.
