add a pot to fit this plant

Drosera capensis (Cape Sundew) is a fascinating carnivorous houseplant known for its delicate, glistening tentacles. These fine hairs produce a sticky nectar that attracts and traps small insects, which the plant then slowly digests — making it both beautiful and functional.

A natural talking point, this unusual plant adds interest to shelves, desks or windowsills, especially in bright, humid spaces.

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light and can tolerate some gentle direct sun.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist at all times.
Humidity: Enjoys a humid environment — occasional misting is beneficial.
Water quality: Use rainwater or distilled water only. Avoid tap water.
