Cape Sundew (Drosera Capensis) 3.5" Potted Plant

Cape Sundew (Drosera Capensis) 3.5" Potted Plant

**Excellent starter plant**

Sundews are enjoyed by many for their beautiful dewy tentacles and are quite the spectacle carnivorous plant. The dew is what helps attract, trap, and digest insects. These plants are easy to grow because they grow well in a variety of conditions. They will rapidly spread once seeds are produced.

 

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Water: Keep in 1-2 inches of distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water.

Light: Partial sun to full sun (harden off before putting into full sun conditions if you are putting them in very intense sun). 

Temperature: 40 - 80 degrees F, can handle some extreme temperatures for very short periods of time but it may experience some foliage dying off until it grows back. 

Dormancy: None

* If the plant is happy in a few weeks to a month after shipping it will regain the dew. If the plant looses the dew at any point, it could mean that something is not quite ideal. If this happens make sure the plant is getting enough water and try increasing the amount of light.
