The Drosera capensis, commonly known as the Cape Sundew, is one of the most popular and easy-to-grow carnivorous plants. Native to South Africa, it features long, slender leaves covered in glistening, sticky tentacles that attract and trap insects. This efficient predator curls its leaves around captured prey, slowly digesting them to absorb nutrients. Drosera capensis thrives in bright light and consistently moist, acidic soil, making it ideal for windowsills, greenhouses, or terrariums. It produces delicate pink to purple flowers on tall stalks and readily self-seeds, often forming attractive colonies. A perfect starter plant for those new to carnivorous species, and a reliable favorite among seasoned growers.
