Sundew Drosera Capensis

$10.99

Drosera Capensis traps its prey from the sticky dew it produces on the tentacles.

The shape, size, color, and mobility of the leaves vary across varieties yet each is densely covered with small tentacle-like hairs with singular drops of dew at their tips.

The multitude of dew drops make the sundew a breathtaking beauty and a sticky death trap for insects. With the bug immobilized, glands on the leaf secrete digestive enzymes and break down the insect’s soft tissues into absorbable nutrients.

A unique addition to your carnivorous plant collection, the Drosera Capensis are native to Cape Town So. Africa and often referred to as Cape Sundew.

The plants in the pictures are representative of the ones that you will receive, they are in 3 inch pots and will be shipped potted.
