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.

Works just like the Mercedessource guy said it would.
Size: 5 Liter
After viewing a Mercedessource video (trusted Mercedes repair advice Youtuber and blogger) on which oil he liked for higher mileage Mercedes he pointed this out Semi-synthetic 10w-40 out. Called it “muddy” oil. Said it possibly helped with small oil seal leaks and seemed to slow oil loss in higer miles Mercedes. Also made the engines run more quietly. So I have been using in my wife’s high mileage Mercedes (185,000miles W211 2004 E500 4matic) which we baby and I work on. A true very high compression super car, everything he said at Mercedessource has turned out to be accurate. No more leaks. Quiet lifters. Cooler running. Wow. I had been using Mobil 1 full synthetic 0W-40 European Car Formula exclusively but tried this for the seal protection. Works great and no, it is not Mercedes spec but I will see when the harsh Utah winter hits. May switch to the Liqui-Moly 5W-40 Leichtlauf full synthetic (which does meet Mercedes 722.9 oil spec) for winter (I change the oil every 6 months regardless). Thanks for reading.
