How to Care for Your Sundew Drosera Capensis
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Water: Use only distilled or rainwater—tap water contains minerals that can harm the plant. Keep the soil consistently moist.
- Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity, making it perfect for terrariums.
- Feeding: Catches gnats, flies, and other insects naturally—no need for additional feeding.
- Dormancy: Unlike some carnivorous plants, this species does not require dormancy and can grow year-round.

Very happy with my new sundew with its very attractive red fringes. I’ve added it with my previous two into an carnivorous plant pot, topped with sphagnum. It’s doing a great job on the fungus gnats!
