Description de la plante carnivore

This variety of Drosera capensis from Ceres, South Africa, differs from the classic Drosera capensis by the presence of more glandular hairs on each leaf, making them denser and an even more intense red.

Maintenance tips :

Temperature: Between 15°C and 40°C, can withstand freezing temperatures down to -5°C, but only for short periods with positive daytime temperatures.
Water: For watering, I recommend that you opt for a capillary method, making sure to constantly maintain a water level of at least 3 cm, using rain, demineralized or osmosis water.
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 rest period in winter. However, if you choose to grow Drosera capensis outdoors in cold weather, the plant goes dormant during the winter, losing its aerial part and growing back from its roots in spring. You can learn more about proper care here.
Substrate: Choose a substrate with blond sphagnum peat 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 store here.
