Meet Drosera capensis ‘Alba’, the elegant, ethereal cousin of the classic Cape Sundew. Unlike its ruby-red relatives, this stunning form features lime-green leaves adorned with crystal-clear dew droplets and snowy white tentacles, creating a soft, luminous appearance that seems to glow in the light.
The result is pure magic. Every leaf sparkles like it has been dusted with diamonds, while quietly serving as an effective insect trap for fungus gnats, fruit flies, and other tiny pests. Despite its delicate appearance, Drosera capensis 'Alba' is one of the easiest carnivorous plants to grow, making it an excellent choice for beginners and seasoned collectors alike.
Elegant. Enchanting. A little bit spooky.

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).
