Drosera capensis 'Octopus Plant'

Drosera capensis 'Octopus Plant' is a captivating carnivorous plant native to South Africa, prized for its elegant, tentacle-like leaves covered in glistening, sticky mucilage. These specialized leaves curl around unsuspecting insects, trapping and digesting them to supplement the plant’s nutrient intake in nutrient-poor soils. The 'Octopus Plant' form of Drosera capensis is noted for its particularly long, slender leaves that resemble the arms of an octopus, giving it a unique and exotic appearance. It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and consistently moist, acidic soil, making it a popular and relatively easy-to-care-for species among carnivorous plant enthusiasts.
