    D. capensis "albino" is a speed demon!

    I have a few young D. capensis "Albinos" planted in a couple small classic terrariums and I love to feed them bugs. Why? Because they have to be the fastest sundews I grow! Seriously, the leaf and tentacle movement in this species is just incredible. Literally seconds after I put an insect on a...

    Bah! caterpillar gets away!

    I just tried to feed my Cape Sundews a little green caterpillar and both times I tried, it managed to force its way through the goo! It always ticks me off when bugs get away, because they leave the leaf all nasty looking... ...I got fed up and fed it to a fast-moving Venus Flytrap. That'll...

    Strange drosera capensis behavior

    Lately my Cape Sundew has been throwing out leaves that are arched way too far back. Many times they straighten out once they have competely unfolded, but it just seems odd. For all you who grow Cape Sundews, is this normal? Are the leaves supposed to unfold straight out? I wonder could cause...

    Making a "classic" style terrarium

    Lowly capensis..

    I had to rescue it after I took the photos, as they are very good neihbors - they eat all the mosquitos and other nasty no-see-ums. But hats off to ya, Mr. Cape, nice catch!

    What part of "no tap water" do people not get?!

    Three of my coworkers asked me about my plants, and wondered if I could get them one. So I gave them each an easy-to-care-for Cape Sundew, with specific instructions to water ONLY with distilled or rain water, and a warning that filtered water is not good enough. Two of the sundews are now...
