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.

    Red Leaf Capensis

    Got my new red leaf D. Capensis about a month ago. I seemed to be asleep but has now woken up and is growing just fine. Looking forward to it flowering so I can have some seeds to grow. D. Capensis grow like weeds.

    Amazing Shop

    My sundew came intact and still moist. Immediately put in standing water (using distilled) and it has flourished since! It's on my windowsill since the temp in Texas is way too hot for them to tolerate. They've even caught some knats! So happy and satisfied with all the advice and service I have received from this site. Will purchase again and definitely recommend!!

    This is my first Carnivorous plant and as soon as i opened the box i was in love. Beautiful bright red and very healthy. I can't stop staring at it. I'm completely in awe. The information pamphlet was also very helpful for beginners like me.
