Description de la plante carnivore
A red version of Drosera capensis, with bright red leaves and stems. This unique variety is not only visually striking, but is also particularly effective at capturing insects. Perfect for adding a splash of bright color to your carnivorous plant collection.

Care instructions:
Temperature: Between 15°C and 40°C, can withstand freezing temperatures down to -5°C, but only for short periods with positive temperatures during the day.
Water: For watering, I recommend that you opt for a capillary method, ensuring that you constantly maintain a water level of at least 3 cm, using rainwater, demineralized or osmosis.
Light: Full sun or near a sunny window to ensure optimal growth. If natural light is insufficient, consider using suitable artificial lighting, including LEDs.
Dormancy: Does not require a winter rest period. However, if you choose to grow Drosera capensis outdoors in cold weather, the plant will go dormant during the winter, losing its aerial part and starting up from its roots again in the spring. You can learn more about care here.
Substrate: Choose a substrate with blond sphagnum peat moss mixed with perlite. (I recommend a mixture of 50% peat and 50% perlite.) You can also find a special substrate designed for carnivorous plants in our online shop here.
