Drosera Capensis (the Cape sundew) is a carnivorous plant in the Droseraceae family that are native to the Cape region of South Africa. They are fuzzy pet safe, but may catch small lizards and frogs when they are babies and not able to free themselves and should be kept away from these plants. Drosera Capensis form small rosettes of semi-erect leaves growing up to 3" tall in maturity. Their leaves produce a red dew that lures small bugs and insects who stop for a drink and get stuck and then the leaves of the sundew will gently wrap around the bug and absorb all of its nutrients, opening back up to have their little shells blown away or washed out by the next rain.
