Drosera regia

I started mine in TC. I kept then in water until the roots were well developed. Then into mesh pots with perlite/LFS. The pot sitting in a few mm of water. At the bottom of my Heli terrarium, with small fans. Terrarium misted but not on dews. A good distance from the LED lights, still bright. High of 25°C, low of ~19°C. Fertilized with 100 ppm MaxSea less than monthly. Doing well but not going crazy. Very dewy.
 
Lloyd is far kinder than me lol. They are in my standard cp mix which is just peat and perlite. They're on a grow shelf in my room, so regular household humidity, in a tray with other sundews. Sometimes they stand in water, other times they don't. They catch the odd moth/mosquitoe/fly/gnat. If I kill one I toss em on... nothing major.
 
Hummmm so I wasn’t doing anything wrong lolll I guess it’s just bad luck on D. regia as I can grow many difficult plants but this one doesn’t what to comply haha
 
What Temps? Maybe it likes cooler? Lloyd said he keeps his with helis, mines inside?

I recently aquire a splendid regia but i find only the minimun care to give them ,water and light its ok but feeding : what is better osmocote pellet ( if yes how much i put in the pot ,) blood worm ,maxsea ? And at wich frequency ? Thank you
 
I always lose mine so I can't help but if your's big enough, try to propagate it so you'll have some back up.
 
Atm the leave are maybe 3 inch long , but for what i've read you need to feed them constanly or they will starve to death and die , not to much water as they dont like to be sit in ,they prefer colder temperature , i cannot post a photo because its to big
 
Well the wind storm we got 2 nights ago in BC managed to blow one of my regia pots over, down a couple of stairs and knocked it completely out of its pot... Sad times lol. Decided to take this opportunity to give it some fresh media and take a few root cuttings. Hopefully by spring I'll have a few extra for trades/sales.
