Drosera capensis ‘Bainskloof’ is a Cape Sundew originally collected from Bainskloof Pass in South Africa. It doesn’t grow as large as some other forms of D. capensis, but forms a stem over time with compact growth at the top. Older leaves can turn a lovely pinkish color under strong light, especially if the plant hasn’t been fed in awhile.

Healthy little thing, as described, with comically long roots for a plant not yet very large.

I’ve ordered Droseras from plant nurseries before, but the Drosera that I received from Curious Plant was packaged perfectly. Would definitely recommend.
