Here's a picture, most of its leaves are like this now. I've had it only a couple of weeks. It looked pretty normal when I got it from Bonfield. Since then it has plenty of new growth, and is dewy but all the leaves have started curling weird.

It looks like it's doing well under your care! Sometimes they'll do the curling thing when they're establishing in a new container, but should probably return to normal as the rosette fills out. If the direction of the curling bothers you, you can place a mosquito or two around mid-trap and it will curl back the other way.

Nice looking capensis, is it the typical form?

It's the "narrow leaf" form.

I've noticed it's more common with plants that have been through any recent transition, ie repotting, new environment, etc. It's a fast grower, and after it's fed and has put out more growth, it should start to produce the more typical traps.

I find that it sometimes happens to my South American dews when they get too hot. I don't think it's really a problem.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad it's alright. I think it's straightening up a little bit already, but it might just be more curly some days than others. I've got it under a makeshift humidity dome now because it loses its dew completely whenever I try to decrease the humidity, so maybe it's getting too hot under there.
