Drosera capensis, Broad Leaf
Named for its natural habitat, the cape region of South Africa, Cape sundews grow vigorously and produces large leaves at maturity. It's considered a mountainous plant, so it likes a very sunny window with mild temperatures. The broad leaf form has wider leaves than the more common narrow leaf form. It also grows slower than other forms of Cape sundews and is more temperamental to hot conditions. However, it matures into a larger plant overall.
Type of Plant: Tropical plant for windowsill growing.
Size: 6 inches across when mature.
Sunlight: Partial sun. Avoid hot sunlight.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts peat moss and perlite only.
Temperatures: Tolerant of cool temperatures but always protect from frost.

I purchased my adorable sun dew to help me conquer my fungus gnat problem. She is doing just that, and is very happy in her new environment! I can’t wait to purchase my next plant, love your company and happily sharing with friends and family!

Great
This little plant has also started making baby plants. I think it is very beautiful with the red flower-like ends.
