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

As long as their roots do not get too cold, these plants will reliably regrow from them. And now that spring has hit, we’re seeing new growth on them! Protecting the roots from freezing is the key to growing them outdoors in the cold winter. www.CaliforniaCarnivores.com | California Carnivores | Facebook

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 | Facebook

Based on Darwin’s extensive experiments feeding sundews we know that they respond to foods high in nitrogen and protein and to milk! Darwin even tried feeding them human saliva, urine and bronchial mucus 濫 | California Carnivores | Facebook
