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.

Does seem different from blue bottle version
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50+, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50+
I have to say this one is interesting. I’m use to using the Blue Lizard in the all blue bottle for the better ingredients & still effective against UV rays with the only downside of the white cast. With that being said this one does dry m o r e clear, but does seem to take longer rubbing into the skin. I also noticed I get much darker/ more red when using this one compared to barely any skin change with the all blue bottle during a beach day. It still says 50+ SPF, but I have noticed more of a pattern of that happening. Depending on how much/ long I’ll be in the sun I might use the other instead, but if I am planning to go somewhere more of a social gathering I may use this one due to it drying clear.

For Professional Outdoors Folks, THIS WORKS!
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50+
I am in the sun approximately 300 days a year and I have used everything available. I am on the water daily and there are only 2 products that 1) work and 2) stay on when wet; Blue Lizard and Doo's. Both have nutrients and moisturizers keeping your skin young. This stuff WORKS! Highly recommended.

Worked well for 4 days spent poolside in 104° temps
Color: White, Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I purchased this specifically for the Zinc/ mineral based SPF factor. There are not a lot of great options for a sun BLOCK lip balm. This is about the highest SPF I could find, in a tube/stick applicator. We use 70 and 50 alternatively and apply often for our bodies and face, but we needed an extra layer for the lips. (They really are very delicate tissues) We like the texture, I didn't notice a flavor or odor, so I guess that's good right? I did not see any white cast to it and honestly I would not care if it did, I just want a sun block for my lips while we are poolside. It worked well. A slight tingly feeling to my lips for the first 30 seconds when applying it, but it did not sting or irritate my skin/lips. We went 4 days of poolside lounging and swimming with about 5-6 hours a day at the pool. We were in and out of the shade, in and out of the water, at at very dry desert Nevada 104° sunny location. We reapplied about every 1.5 - 2 hours, or if we felt like we needed it after eating or drinking something. We did not burn nor peel, our lips were soft and great. I will keep using it and will likely purchase again, when needed. It's a good brand. Aside from straight up old fashioned white or colored lifeguard zinc sticks, this is a less "clown like makeup" option.
