The Cape Sundew prefers a soil mix that is high in peat and low in nutrients. The soil should be kept consistently wet, and good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging. Avoid using nutrient-rich soil or adding fertilizers.Kunstmest
Drosera capensis does not require fertilizer. The plant obtains its nutrients from the insects it captures. Adding fertilizer can harm the plant.Verpotten
Repotting should be done every couple of years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a peat-based soil mix and ensure the new pot has good drainage. Handle the plant carefully to avoid damaging its delicate roots.Voortplanting
Propagation can be done through leaf cuttings or seeds. For leaf cuttings, place a healthy leaf on moist peat and cover it with a plastic bag to maintain humidity. Seeds can be sown on the surface of moist peat and kept in a warm, bright location.Snoeien
Pruning is generally not required for Drosera capensis. However, you can remove dead or dying leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health.Toxiciteit
