Drosera capensis
Hello friends. Today I'm here to introduce you to a carnivorous plant I grow at home called Drosera capensis.
It feeds on small insects that stick to its trichomes, the tiny hairs on its leaves. They stick thanks to the mucilage it releases, and little by little, it entangles its prey.
These plants usually grow in marshy areas and are easy to cultivate.
