Drosera
Capensis, also known as the Cape sundew, is native to the Cape region
in South Africa. Drosera Capensis makes a great plant
for the beginner as it's extremely easy to grow and
very hardy. I grow
mine in a mix of 2:1 peat and sand. They can be grown indoors or
outside in an unheated greenhouse. They
like full sun in summer and should be kept standing in 1-2cm of rain
water,
not tap
water. They can be left outside in winter but will die back to the roots
if frosted (they will look dead but don't throw them away), or kept in
the house.
Drosera Capensis Alba does not require cold stratification. Sow the seeds thinly on the surface of the compost mix and place on a sunny windowsill. Keep compost moist by watering from below. Increasing humidity by placing the pot in a bag or putting it in a propagator can aid germination. Seeds should germinate in 3 to 6 weeks if conditions are good.
For more exotic seeds see my other listings.
NOTE:
As with all seeds, germination rates may vary. If for some reason you
experience poor germination please let me know.
POSTAGE NOTE: Postage discount available on multiple orders however please ask for an invoice BEFORE paying.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: Please note that some countries restrict the import of seeds. If this applies to your country then there is a risk that if inspected, the item could be seized and destroyed. I cannot be held responsible for any loss as a result of this. It is the buyers’ responsibility to ensure that no such restrictions apply or if they do fully accept the risks and not leave negative feedback. Shipping is via Royal Mail International Standard, there is no tracking on this service. If ordering more than 3 packs of seeds please request an invoice as postage cost may be higher due to weight.
