Light\u003c\/strong\u003e: Drosera capensis needs a lot of direct light. Place the plant in a location where it will receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. A sunny window is ideal. If you are growing the plant indoors, artificial light suitable for carnivorous plants can also be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2. Water\u003c\/strong\u003e: Use demineralized water, rainwater, or distilled water to water the plant. Avoid tap water, as it can contain minerals that will damage the plant's sensitive leaves. Keep the plant's tray always filled with water to maintain adequate humidity levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3.
