🌿 Live Arrival Guarantee
We carefully pack and ship every plant to arrive healthy and ready to grow.
If your plant arrives damaged or unhappy, contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos, and we’ll replace it or issue store credit — no plant parent left behind.
Please note that a heat pack must be purchased from November - March in order to leverage our Live Arrival Guarantee as we cannot guarantee plant survival in cold weather conditions.
Meet Drosera capensis, the Cape Sundew — a carnivorous plant that looks like it was dipped in glitter and designed by nature to both stun and snack. Long, elegant leaves are lined with ruby-red tentacles dripping in sticky, dew-like droplets that shimmer in the light. Those “dew drops”? They’re not water — they’re irresistible insect traps.
This plant is a living jewel and one of the easiest carnivorous plants to grow, making it perfect for beginners and collectors alike. Whether perched on a sunny windowsill or displayed as a conversation-starting centerpiece, the Cape Sundew delivers nonstop drama, sparkle, and performance.
Beautiful. Functional. Slightly savage. We’re obsessed.
Reminder to Order a Heat Pack if Cold
Cold weather shipping? Protect your plant baby! 🌡️
If temperatures in your area drop below 40°F, we strongly recommend adding a heat pack to your order to ensure your Drosera arrives happy, healthy, and ready to hunt.
Plant Sizing Guide
What Size Am I Getting? Let's Break It Down.
We get it—plant sizes can be confusing. Is a “small” the size of a golf ball or a grapefruit? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Below is a quick guide to help you understand what each size means when shopping our plants. Measurements refer to the plant body, not including the pot (unless noted).
Tiny
- Baby plants or starter plugs. May be rooted or freshly cut. 0.5"–1.5" wide.
- Example: Butterwort plug, small seedling
Small
- Young plant, well-rooted, 1.5"–3" wide or tall.
- Example: Aeonium cutting, sundew cluster
Medium
- Established plant, 3"–5" wide/tall. Ready for repotting or display.
- Example: 2–3 year-old cactus, flowering flytrap
Large
- Mature plant, 5"–8" wide/tall. Great for centerpieces or statement planters.
- Example: Dioscorea elephantipes, pitcher plant
XL (Collector Size)
- Rare or mature specimen, 8"+ or unusually large or sculptural in form.
- Example: Caudex giants, multi-head aeoniums
📦 Note:
- Pot sizes (if included) are listed separately on product pages.
- Some species naturally stay small—even large ones might only be a few inches wide. Check individual listings for details.
- Photos are of representative plants—your plant may vary slightly (because nature’s not into clones).
