Large Carnivorous Cape Sundew (Drosera capensis Typical) Plant, Beginner Friendly Large Live Flowering Size

Description

Drosera capensis, or the Cape Sundew, is a carnivorous plant species forming linear leaves up to 4.5 inches long. It is easy to care for and and may produce plantlets as it grows. The leaves are covered with tentacles (trichomes) that secrete a sticky “dew” to attract and catch prey. The dew also contains enzymes that aid in digestion. Once a leaf traps prey, the bug's movements trigger the leaf to curl up, introducing more dew and enzymes. Eventually, the plant absorbs all of the nutrients in the bug leaving only the external skeleton. Review: Plant is not a large breed of Drosera. It is an adult and is large for it's breed though. - Drosera capensis Typical Size A typical Drosera capensis can grow to be about 4-5 inches (10-12 cm) in diameter.
