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.

    Would be nice if customer had the ability to add to an existing order before finalization date without incurring full shipping and handling charges. Otherwise super experience.

    Again, excellent packing, and a healthy, vigorous plant. It has really taken off, especially after occasional feeding. I can tell it loves its southwest window.

    First Carnivorous plant order

    Posted by Mark. on January 14, 2018

    Absolutely blown away by the quality of the plants, and almost more impressed with Sarracenia Northwests packaging. Plants arrived in perfect condition. And are now thriving. I will be ordering more in the near future.
