(105 reviews)

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.

    Started growing right away and The capensis also had a couple small ones beside it. Won't shop elsewhere in the future if I can get it here.

    Great Plants, Rough Ride

    Priority Mail box arrived with a puncture and crushed corner, but the fragile Droseras were none the worse thanks to excellent packaging by Sarracenia NW. Great looking plants.

    Great plant.. Arrived Healthy and Happy in great packaging it has started producing dew already. I have the Ebook and I am a Nepenthes and Tropical Drosera grower. I got this because this is sometimes called "the invincible/unkillible sundew"
