The Cape Sundew like a lot of sunshine. Give your plant at least 4-6 hours of direct morning sunlight to keep the traps healthy and for them to develop beautiful colour traps.
Only give them rainwater, reverse osmosis water or distilled water as water with a lot of nutrients will kill your plants roots. Keep the pot in a tray of the type of water you chose.
The Cape Sundew are amazing plants that can catch and digest its own meals, but we understand if you want to feed the plant now and then!
The Cape Sundew also need a nutrient poor soil. We use a 50% peatmoss and 50% perlite mix to keep the plant nice and moist and happy.
The Cape Sundew does not go dormant and will continue to grow throughout the year. However, certain sundews like Drosera binata and Drosera filiformis do experience dormancy.
