Description
Our most beginner-friendly plant is now ready for primetime in the classroom, the garden, or beyond!
Drosera capensis, or the Cape Sundew, is a carnivorous plant species forming linear leaves up to 4.5 inches long. It is easy to care for and and may produce plantlets as it grows. The leaves are covered with tentacles (trichomes) that secrete a sticky “dew” to attract and catch prey. The dew also contains enzymes that aid in digestion. Once a leaf traps prey, the bug’s movements trigger the leaf to curl up, introducing more dew and enzymes. Eventually, the plant absorbs all of the nutrients in the bug leaving only the external skeleton.
Your new plant will be 2″ or more across. It has been carefully grown for the last year and are now a good size for carnivorous plant enthusiasts. Growing instructions will be included.
