Drosera Capensis - Sundew - ↕15cm - Ø12cm

Description

The Drosera Capensis, also known as the candle plant or southern sundew, is a fascinating carnivorous plant that not only adds an exotic touch to your interior but also sparks your interest with its impressive trapping mechanisms. This houseplant is known for its shimmering, sticky tentacles that attract and catch insects. The Drosera Capensis is ideal for plant lovers who want to add a unique and low-maintenance plant to their home. Read on to discover how best to care for this special houseplant!

Drosera Capensis Location

The Drosera Capensis loves plenty of light but cannot tolerate direct sunlight, which could burn its leaves. Place the plant in a spot with bright, indirect light, such as a windowsill that is not in direct sunlight. A temperature between 20°C and 30°C is ideal for this sundew. The Drosera Capensis thrives in an airy, well-ventilated environment with high humidity. If you live in a drier environment, it may help to place the plant on a tray with water and pebbles or to use a humidifier.

Drosera Capensis Air Purification

In addition to its impressive ability to catch insects, the Drosera Capensis also contributes to healthier air in your home. The plant's sticky tentacles not only catch pests but also help filter small dust particles and other pollutants from the air. This makes the Drosera Capensis not only a beautiful but also a useful plant for your interior, which can slightly improve air quality.

Drosera Capensis Care

The Drosera Capensis requires relatively little care, but there are a number of important guidelines to keep the plant healthy. Always use distilled water, rainwater, or demineralized water, as tap water can contain too many minerals that are harmful to the plant. The Drosera Capensis needs constant humidity, so ensure that the soil does not dry out, but also does not become too wet. Remove dried or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy. Although the Drosera Capensis does not require fertilization, it will thrive in a bright environment and with proper care.

    About our products

    Please note: Plants are a living product and may differ from the photo and description. Plants 100 cm or taller may vary in height by 10%. Plants 100 cm or shorter may vary in height by 10 cm. The height of the plant is measured vertically from the bottom of the nursery pot to the top leaf. Our plants are delivered in a plastic nursery pot. All plants are packed and shipped directly from the nursery. Plants cannot be returned. Please note: Our Corten steel products are delivered unrusted. Corten steel is a ‘living’ material that can discolour and deform during the rusting process. This may result in irregularities in colour and shape. Some products are custom-made. These products cannot be returned. Therefore, please always contact us in advance to discuss this. The photos of garden furnishing products are taken from ground level. Please note that adjustable feet or placement feet may be present under the product. These must be attached to a concrete footing. Read our general terms and conditions.
