Pink Sundew Carnivorous Plant (Drosera capillaris)

A "flypaper" carnivorous plant with long tentacle-like leaves covered in fine sticky hairs that trap insects — a favorite for terrariums, carnivorous collections, and bog gardens.

The Pink Sundew (Drosera capillaris) catches its prey by getting insects stuck on the sticky hairs that cover its leaves. The leaves are like long tentacles that protrude from the center, each covered in fine, glistening sticky hairs that are both beautiful and deadly to small insects. Requires distilled or rainwater and sphagnum moss. No feeding needed — it catches its own gnats and flies naturally. Available in multiple planter options.

What I love about it

The Pink Sundew is the carnivorous plant that looks like jewelry. The sticky hairs on each leaf glisten in the light like tiny dewdrops — which is exactly how it lures insects in. It's a flypaper trap rather than a snap trap, which means it's always "set" and always beautiful. Perfect for terrariums where the humidity stays high, and a great addition to any carnivorous plant collection. Check our bundles for better pricing on the 2" nursery pot.
