Drosera capensis, Red Leaf
$14.95
This variety of Cape sundew is a truly remarkable plant. Instead of the typical green, the entire plant is blood red. To maintain its extreme color, you will need to grow this plant in absolutely the brightest light possible. In fall and winter, its leaves may lose some of its redness, but it perks up again in spring and summer when strong light levels return. While the other varieties of Cape sundew prefer bright and cool conditions, this variety prefers bright and warm conditions. An adult plant can get up to 5 inches in diameter and just has tall.
Type of Plant: Tropical plant for windowsill growing.
Size: 5 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.

Drosera capensis
First time carrnivorous plant grower here. Apprehensive about my abilities and purchasing a plant in the winter. Watched every Youtube video on the subject. Decision was made and fingers crossed. I am extremely happy with my choice! Shipping, packing, and protection of the plants was Outstanding! The Droseras are fantastic! I expected a couple of weeks of adjustment period. The plants are producing dew and started capturing fungus gnats within a few days. They are actively growing and delighting with their healthy head start. I am very happy with all facets of this fantastic nursery. Thank you.

Drosera capensis red leaf
I received my plants promptly. It was healthy and red. But after 3 months now, it's growing well with a new baby coming out from the main plant. But I'm not understanding why the plant isn't as red a I thought? The new growth is green stem and leaf with red tentacles. I thought it would stay very red throughout? But overall I'm happy with my purchase.

Absolutely stunning
My drosera has grown new arms since I’ve got them in the mail and are so very good at catching gnats that come from having indoor plants can’t wait to get more

Beautiful Deep Red Color
As the title says, I received a gorgeous plant! It hasn’t missed a beat and is continuing to put out lovely red leaves for me. I would also like to mention that SN packs their plants quite nicely and includes great little growing brochures for you!
