DROSERA CAPENESIS "THE SUNDEW"

This insect eater uses sticky leaves to collect insects. Those ‘drops’ you see are quite sticky – not water at all.

Drosera Capenesis is quite easy to grow. It does require lots of light and loves the Humidity.

Featured in the Macro group – September 2008

DROSERA CAPENESIS "THE SUNDEW" belongs to the following groups:

    You should take this to the Macro H20 group, i assume you’re awaiting approval?
    Fantastic capture michelle!

  • Michelle Legg replied

    Thanks Mel – I’m in two minds about that group as technically the ‘drops’ you see aren’t water as such but a sticky drop of some sort to trap the insect that is curious enough to crawl over it.
