Drosera capensis are our Number 1 recommendation for your first carnivorous plant! These beautiful plants are easy to grow and will reward your care by eating fungus gnats, fruit flies…and even the occasional housefly! Grow them on a very sunny windowsill, always sitting in a saucer of distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. www.CaliforniaCarnivores.com | California Carnivores

Drosera capensis are surprisingly tough and resilient! They can tolerate a brief freeze as long as the daytime temperatures come back up over 40°F. If exposed to a freeze, they will die back at the surface and look very rough, but as long as the roots are healthy, they will regrow! Www.CaliforniaCarnivores.com | California Carnivores
