You can grow Drosera capensis outdoors in many areas, and a few weeks ago, I showed you a video of the ones that we grow outdoors that had died back from a frost. As long as their roots do not get too cold, these plants will reliably regrow from them. And now that spring has hit, we’re seeing new growth on them! Protecting the roots from freezing is the key to growing them outdoors in the cold winter. www.CaliforniaCarnivores.com | California Carnivores

Drosera capensis are surprisingly tough and resilient! They can tolerate a brief freeze as long as the daytime temperatures come back up over 40°F. If exposed to a freeze, they will die back at the surface and look very rough, but as long as the roots are healthy, they will regrow! Www.CaliforniaCarnivores.com | California Carnivores

Drosera capensis are our Number 1 recommendation for your first carnivorous plant! These beautiful plants are easy to grow and will reward your care by eating fungus gnats, fruit flies…and even the occasional housefly! Grow them on a very sunny windowsill, always sitting in a saucer of distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. www.CaliforniaCarnivores.com | California Carnivores
