- Drosera capillaris, sometimes referred to as the "pink sundew" is found commonly in the southeastern United States "from Virginia to Florida to Texas. Forms are also known from Central and South America" (page 131 of The Savage Garden).
The leaves can develop red coloration in bright enough lighting, but otherwise will remain yellow-green or yellow-orange. There is also a form that lacks pigment and is referred to as "albino" or "alba" since it's not an official cultivar yet.
Plants do not form hibernacula (dormant buds), but the leaves of "Long-Arm" forms shrink back quite a bit in cooler temperatures. Frequent feeding indoors will help leaves remain as large as possible
Selected quotes from Schnell, Donald E. Carnivorous Plants of the United States and Canada p.69-70:
"D. capillaris is a prostrate rosette averaging 3.5 cm across, but growing up to 7.5 cm in some extreme southern locations. (However, if grown indoors and left unfed, you may notice the growth shrinks back to remain at 1.25 or 2 cm in diameter).
"The petioles are of moderate length, 1.0-2.5 cm."
"the flowers are either pink or white, the former somewhat more frequent."

Thanks for watching!
Found these growing wild with S. Minor next to my elementary school when I was a kid! I've been obsessed ever since.
Wonderful videos and sundews you are the man, Aaron!!!!!
Great video, and some wonderful plants, WOW, Aaron. I soon will have some of these types of sundews!
such a beautiful collection... cant wait to have some of those!!!
What’s your Instagram? I have some photos of a sundew I found in South Africa mpumalanga and I have not seen before anywhere, I would love to send you the pictures so you can help with identification.
These grow all over the place at my dad's ranch in Hardee County. Come get quite big.
Do you think feeding the various Drosera's ants is a good idea? Around my house outside I could easily capture ants and place them on my plant(s). Some other common bugs I could catch would be slugs, earth worms, and lady bugs. I ask because I don't know if Drosera's can digest through the exoskeletons.
You should see the ones at Joseph Pines, they're almost D. brevifolia size and very red.
when will you make a new video?:)
How do you go about catching the seeds at the right time before they fall back into the soil mix? Please answer. Thanks.
I wish you have seeds available this present date. If yes, please message me since I would like to acquire some

Can you grow these guys in long fibered sphangum moss or is peat moss better for them?
