Drosera aliciae — Carnivorous plant
🪴 Graphic carnivorous plant • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Regular watering • 🌿 Moderate care
The Drosera aliciae, also called Cape sundew, is a fascinating small carnivorous plant native to South Africa. Its foliage forms a compact rosette covered with fine shiny droplets that naturally trap insects.
Both decorative and surprising, it fits perfectly in a bright interior or on a well-lit windowsill. An ideal plant for the curious and lovers of unusual nature.
Exposure & placement
The Drosera aliciae loves light and warmth, without direct burning sun. It thrives in a bright and humid atmosphere, close to its natural habitat.
- Exposure: bright indirect light, gentle morning or late afternoon sun.
- Ideal: east or southeast-facing windowsill, bright terrarium or indoor greenhouse.
- Temperature: 18–28 °C in summer, never below 10 °C.
- Substrate: special carnivorous plant mix (blond peat and sand or perlite, without fertilizer).
Verdeia tip: always keep some water in the saucer, especially in summer, to keep the substrate moist without ever soaking it.
Watering & maintenance
- Watering: regular: the substrate must remain constantly moist.
- Water: use only rainwater, demineralized or osmosis water.
- Fertilizer: unnecessary — the plant gets its nutrients from captured insects.
- Winter: resting period: slightly reduce watering and keep in a cool, bright room.
- Care: remove dry leaves at the base to keep a compact rosette.
Do not feed the plant manually: it naturally attracts small insects thanks to its sticky leaves.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Compact and original, the Drosera aliciae adds a touch of botanical curiosity to a modern interior. Its pink and sparkling foliage creates a unique graphic effect.
- To pair with: Nepenthes or Dionaea muscipula for a complete mini carnivorous garden.
- Ideal pot: plastic or ceramic pot with saucer, to keep humidity constant.
- Ambiance: perfect in a terrarium or a bright shelf.
Place it near a natural light source to make its sticky droplets shine — this is where it reveals all its beauty.
Verdeia tips
- Give it bright light without burning sun.
- Water only with non-calcareous water.
- Keep a water level in the saucer, especially in summer.
- Never put fertilizer in the substrate.
- Promotes a humid atmosphere, for example by placing damp clay pellets around the pot.

Each plant being unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or shade may exist — that is what makes them so charming!
What are the delivery times and conditions?

What to do upon receiving my plant?

If it has slightly suffered from transport, it will quickly regain its shape after one or two days in the light.
Can I put this plant outside?
It depends on the species. Most indoor plants prefer a bright place without direct sunlight, while outdoor plants like more direct light.
