Our Cape Sundew plant, Latin name Drosera Capensis, is a favorite for a terrarium, carnivorous plant collection, or bog garden. These are "flypaper" plants that catch their prey by getting them stuck on the hairs that are on the leaves. Their leaves are like long tentacles that protrude from the center, covered in fine sticky hairs. These hairs have digestive enzymes that can turn the flys or bugs that it catches into fertilizer for the plant so using a nutrient-deficient moss medium is recommended for potting. 

Available in the following packaging based on your preference:

• Nursery Pot - Standard plastic 2 inch planter pot that can be placed inside a larger pot or left as is until it outgrows it.
• Diana Planter - This plant comes packaged in a white round porcelain planter pot almost 4" ready for your home or office space with a bamboo tray to catch drips when watered.
• Olympia Planter -  Ceramic 3.5" marble planter comes packaged in our elegant grey-white marbled style cylindrical porcelain planter raised on a white metal stand. This planter does come with a hole for drainage.
• Daphne 4.5" Ceramic Planter - This includes a rose gold tray that captures the drips of water from your plant.  

These bog-loving plants do best when kept in a humid environment and only given distilled or rainwater.  If your plant needs added humidity our Plant Mister would make a perfect addition to your plant shelf for both function and beauty.
