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.

Great plan, easy refund process
Asurion refunded the cost of my tv when the screen started to fail. Highly recommend buying the protection plan as Asurion makes the refund process easy!

Worth it albeit online claim process need work
I submitted the claim online twice and each time the claim was denied due to missing documents, which I included. Calling the customer service center was helpful. Shout out to UPS, who picked up the returned item and provided a receipt. Still recommend getting protection, might be an exercise of patience but still worth it.

Absolutely buy this insurance for any product you care about!
I usually don't buy the protection plan for appliances, but the combination of previous experiences with milk frothers that inexplicably and quickly failed taught me to do so this time with my Maestri House milk frother, bought for $70. I'm so glad I did! It shorted out at 22 months, and the company refused to help. I filed my claim with Asurion, got a return label immediately, sent it back that day, and was notified within a couple of days that the total cost of the frother was now ready and waiting for me in my Amazon account. It was so easy, so seamless, and so quick! I researched new (non-Maestri House) frothers, and bought a highly-praised one for the same price--with another 3-year plan from Asurion. So well worth a few more dollars to protect an appliance that I can't start my day without!
