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.

    I ordered a red drosera capensis, and it arrived very quick. The plant was very healthy, and the it was packed so well that I'm sure it would be intact through many USPS guys throwing it around

    This plant arrived in perfect condition, almost as if I went to your nursery and picked it up myself! It was carefully packaged, no damage to the leaves, and best of all the Drosera was healthy looking and very bright red.

    The plant was larger than most I have received from other nurseries. Its coloration was deep red as well. The plant is still going strong. I could not ask for better service. Thank you SNW!
