Identifying and Caring for Drosera aliciae from Table Mountain

Confirmation and Basic Care

Your plant is Drosera aliciae (Alice Sundew)—healthy and well-identified. Most sundews thrive with a water tray. Use a well-draining pot; keep water at ¼ pot depth. Maintain constant moisture but avoid waterlogging. Only use rain, distilled, or RO water—tap or bottled water introduces minerals that will kill the plant.

Differentiating D. aliciae, D. trinervia, and D. ramantacea

D. trinervia resembles D. aliciae but is smaller overall. I have no direct experience with D. ramantacea or D. trinervia. For detailed comparison, consult Sarracenia Northwest or specialist forums.
