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.

Heavy chewers can't break these alone.
Style: 5 Pcs No Stuffing Basic
These toys are AWESOME! As long as you don't get tricked into playing tug of war with them, they will last a very long time (almost 2 months) with a heavy chewer that tears through most toys in a couple hours. The tug pressure rips a seam. Then, that portion is a goner. However, the rest of the toy stays intact.

Well made & my dog LOVES them!
Style: 5 Pcs No Stuffing Basic
Great value for FIVE very cute and well made stuff-less toys with crinkly paper inside and TWO squeakers each. My dog loves playing with them! I have two in his toy box and put three up to save for later for backup if/when he destroys the first two. 😂 I love the cute and unique designs of the squirrel, donkey, fox, cow, and giraffe, too.

Fun to toss
Style: 5 Pcs No Stuffing Basic
I was ordering another brand but bought this by mistake. These are FABULOUS. Not made cheaply some over twelve inches. My 40 pound pointer loves throwing them up and catching them. WOW.

Dog LOVES these!
Style: 5 Pcs No Stuffing Basic
My dog LOVES these toys. They are just the right size, have 2 squeaky toys - one in head and one in tail, which drives him crazy in the best way. The unstructured center allows him to shake them wildly and catch them mid-air. I will buy these again.
