Seller: chomper_and.friends ✉️ (148) 100%, Location: Penshurst, NSW, AU, Ships to: AU, Item: 126114296502 Drosera Capensis (Cape Sundew) - Beginner Carnivorous plant. Drosera capensis  Drosera capensis (aka the cape sundew) is extremely vigorous and easy to grow plant and should be a staple for anyone who is dipping their toes into the CP world. It grows in a wide range of environments, and can be grown indoors in a bright windowsill (partial sun) or outdoors (full sun). Although it is subtropical, it can tolerate frost where the plant dies back and returns from its roots once the weather warms up. The tentacles are dripping with a sticky dew like substance that both kills and digests its prey. These plants specialise in killing gnats, flies and pesky mosquitoes. Although not as dramatic as Venus fly traps, the tentacles and leaves move to wrap up the insect in an everlasting embrace.  On sale are 2 variants:  - Cape sundew alba; has white tentacles and white flowers. Lacking red pigment  - Cape sundew typical; has red tentacles and pink flowers.  You will recieve a mature plant obtained from the colony pot shown in Image 1-2. These have been propagated through root cuttings and well established. They have all reach flowering size You will also receive a growing guide on how to grow these plants. See Image 2 for an example of a flower bud emerging from one of the capensis alba plants.  The plants will be sent bare-root with some damp paper towel around the roots to reduce the shipping cost. The plant should be potted up in a media of peat moss: perlite (1:1) or peat moss: sand (1:1) upon arrival. Posting bare root is advantageous as it will reduce the change the plant is crushed by the weight of the pot/media it is shipped in, and also reduces weight of the parcel and shipping costs.  Note: the plant may arrive without any dew due to the packaging postage, unfortunately this is unavoidable but do not worry as the plant will produce its own dew after a couple of days of settling in.  Postage : Due to Biosecurity Restrictions I cannot post to TAS, NZ, NT and WA. I can only post to NSW, QLD, VIC, SA and ACT. The plants will be posted via Express postage (1-3 business days) in a parcel with tracking the following Monday-Tuesday to reduce the chance they held up in the Post Office over the weekend. Please take advantage of combined shipping if purchasing multiple plants from my listings! To do this add listings to "Shopping cart" and click on "Request total" on the top right hand corner shown in the last image and "Commit to buy". If you are unable to navigate this, please ask me any questions!  If you wish to have the plants posted via Standard Parcel Service (2-7 business days) please include it as a note after your purchase and I will reimbuse you $3 ($12 shipping vs $15 Express shipping).  However, I will not be held responsible for any delayed postage due to Aus Post so please use at your own caution.   Note : There is size variation within the plants, I will strive to provide plants of similar sizes.
