✨🌿Drosera Capensis – The Sparkly Assassin of the Plant World! ✨🌿
Meet the Drosera Capensis, a.k.a. the Cape Sundew, a deceptively delicate-looking carnivorous plant that’s basically Tinkerbell with a taste for bugs. With its glistening, tentacle-like leaves covered in sticky "dew", this little beauty lures in pests and then wraps them up like a burrito of doom. Cute and deadly? Yes, please.
☀️ Sun-Worshipping Sparkle Queen – Loves bright light, and the more sun it gets, the more those glittery dew drops shine like it's ready for a red carpet strut.
💦 Moist and Magical – Keep that soil consistently wet, because Drosera Capensis likes its feet damp at all times. Distilled or rainwater only, because hard water is a hard pass.
🪰 Bug Zapper with Flair – Those sparkly tentacles? They're fly traps in disguise, wrapping around unsuspecting insects with slow-motion drama and digesting them with style. Aphids, gnats, and fruit flies? Consider them handled.
Perfect for windowsill carnivores, goth terrariums, or anyone who wants a little sparkle with their savage, the Drosera Capensis is easy to grow, wildly entertaining, and addictively weird.
✨🌿 Grab one today—because who doesn’t want a glamorous, glitter-covered bug assassin in their plant squad?

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).
