Drosera capensis ‘Wide Leaf’ is appropriately named for the wider leaves it produces in comparison to the typical form of the plant. It is a hardy grower and will develop a “trunk” over time as old leaves die away and new ones are produced from the growth point. The leaves are covered with tentacles that secrete a clear sticky substance to attract and catch prey.

This was my first Drosera. The plant was very healthy and bigger than expected. It was packaged with great care. I simply followed the acclimation instructions on the website. The plant is doing really well.

A couple of dead leaves but likely due to an issue on my end that left the plants in the box for longer than expected. In good condition and recovering well from shipping.

I ordered from a place before I placed my order with curious plant It took 9 days as I warched online to put the plant in a box and ship it. I canceled my order with them and looked elsewhere for a plant so I thought I’d try curious plant and oh ya much much better !!! Very happy with these guys they got it shipped to me very quickly and tbe plant is still alive . I’ll be placing more orders with these guys in the future for sure 👍
