Drosera capensis ‘Albino’ (also known as the ‘Alba’ form) is similar to D. capensis ‘Typical’, however it lacks much of the red pigmentation of its counterpart. The plant will remain all green while its dewy stalks turn only slightly pink under intense light. D. capensis ‘Albino’ produces all white flowers and is easy to care for making it a good plant for beginners.

Packaged very well, almost all the leaves we’re intact and moist still and the included directions video was very helpful in getting my new baby planted and settled in. A couple leaves have shriveled up since potting it, but I think it just needs a bit of an adjustment still and I may need a grow lamp.
