Drosera capensis (Bains Kloof) ~ Sundew, Carnivorous Plant

For more information about Drosera capensis (Bains Kloof) and other D. capensis forms, visit this link: http://www.growsundews.com/sundews/Drosera_capensis.html

Sometimes, it seems I'm unable to convey the true shape/size of each sundew species using only pictures, so I hope the "video tour" gives you a better understanding about this sundew.

HELP Aaron my D.capensis is drooping in 16h of light help!

[sundewman]

@ilovesundews12 o no! Well if you have any pictures, that could help the most. Shoot me an email when you get a chance. If not, there are several things that could be going wrong...first is that the peat might have fertilizer in it? Second is that there could be some sort of pest. only other thing i can think of at the moment is that there may be too much water. When you reply, give me info on how tall the pot is, distance from the lights, and the tentacle coloration (red,pink, or white),

what are the biggest sundews that you know of

[sundewman]

@sanandreasdanieltosh The biggest sundews I know of include D. regia, D. binata, and the tuberous sundews, such as D. gigantea, for example. But there are plenty of D. capensis forms that reach quite a nice size, as well as some rosetted sundews like D. spatulata 'Tamlin' or D. aliciae that size up quite nicely as well.
