Drosera capensis

Cape Sundew

Drosera capensis, commonly known as the Cape Sundew, is one of the easiest and most rewarding carnivorous plants to grow. Native to the Cape region of South Africa, it features long, slender leaves that unfurl dramatically and are covered in glistening, sticky "dew"—glandular hairs that trap and digest small insects like gnats and fruit flies.

With its elegant, arching leaves and constant insect-catching sparkle, D. capensis is as functional as it is beautiful. Even better, it often blooms freely in cultivation, sending up tall flower stalks with delicate, pink to lavender blossoms.

Care Guide

  • Light: Thrives in bright, direct light—ideally 4+ hours per day. Can also do well under strong grow lights.

  • Water: Use only distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. Keep soil consistently moist; a shallow tray of water beneath the pot works well.

  • Humidity: Adapts to average household humidity but appreciates a boost in drier environments.

  • Temperature: Prefers 65–85°F. Can tolerate cooler temps down to 40°F, but not frost.

  • Soil: Use a nutrient-free mix of sphagnum peat and perlite or sand (1:1). Never fertilize.

  • Feeding: Will happily catch its own prey. If indoors and pest-free, feed with dried bloodworms or crushed betta pellets monthly.

Drosera capensis blooms prolifically in bright conditions, often sending up flower stalks from spring through fall. Each stalk carries multiple blooms that open sequentially—delicate, five-petaled flowers in soft pink or lilac. While beautiful, you can snip them off to conserve the plant's energy if desired.

This is the perfect “gateway” carnivorous plant: forgiving, endlessly fascinating, and surprisingly pretty. It’s ideal for bright kitchens, sunny windowsills, or anywhere those pesky gnats like to hang out. A true workhorse with a touch of magic.

Surviving a 8 month old heavy chewer
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
My dog is OK with it but doesn't like it as good as the whale indestructible toy I got her previously. She chews on it a little while and quits. She acts almost like it makes her nauseated. Idk though.... It gets very very sharp! Be careful grabbing it after they've chewed it.

AMAZING!
Color: Pink Blue
I have never written a review before, and I shop 4-5 days a week on Amazon. My 5 month old puppy LOVES these chew toys. When I first opened the box I was worried because they were so hard, but Poppy went crazy. He chews on them, tosses them and retrieves them, runs in circles around them and barks, and when he finally settles down will chew them and make these pig snort sounds of contentment. I have bought a lot of toys for my new puppy… But these are the best by far!

Toy broke in two
Color: Blue
This is a great toy for aggressive chewers. My reason for 3 stars is my dog dropped it on the tile floor the second day she had it and it broke in two. Not real happy with that. Update: The seller has been proactive and accepting of the very minor issue of the toy breaking. Responded within 24 hours and issued a refund. Because of their response I am changing my review to 4 stars.
