Albino Cape Sundew - Drosera Capensis 'Albino'
The Albino Cape Sundew, also known as Drosera Capensis 'Albino', is a carnivorous plant native to South Africa. It is a variant of the common Cape Sundew, but with white leaves instead of green. Like other sundews, it uses sticky, glandular hairs on its leaves to trap and digest insects.
To care for an Albino Cape Sundew, it's important to provide it with the right growing conditions. They prefer bright, indirect sunlight and should be kept in a warm, humid environment, ideally between 25-30°C. The soil should be kept moist at all times, using only distilled or rainwater, as tap water may contain minerals that can harm the plant. It's also important to feed the plant regularly with insects or other small prey, as this is how it obtains its necessary nutrients.
