Drosera Capensis Cape Sundew Carnivorous Plant

This plant enjoys temperatures between 40F and 85F. Can be grown outdoors. Although it can survive a frost, it's best not to leave it outside in those temperatures. They can also grow in a very bright window or under bright grow lights (goose neck lights not reccomended). 

Similar sized plant sold, not exact plant pictured. Your plant resides within a 3" pot with a velvety layer of either New Zealand Long Fiber Sphagnum Moss or a silky Peat/perlite/sand mixture in water tray with care tag. You may also receive stickers and other possibly shameless self promotional materials.
