B52 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hi all Do any of you guys uese slow release pellets with your D, regia? I am going to be giving Osmocote slow release pellets a try (there arriving tomorrow). I'll be giving 2 pellets per plant! What are your thoughts? All the best, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Never fed mine as they catch a lot themselves. Will be interested to see your results! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B52 Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hi mate, I added two pellets to each plant today, I'll let you know how it is going in a month or two. Regards Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel H-C Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 I've never fed mine, and to agree with Dunc they catch, at times, a huge amount, so extra would be quite superfluous. When they're small they seem to struggle on for a year or two, remaining small until they're able to catch larger insects, at which time they're off the blocks like a lamprey on an ice rink. Never tried feeding whilst small, but if I get round to pollinating this year (something I've planned but failed to facilitate for the past couple of years, though followers of mine will know that last year went somewhat contrary to plan), I'll try something.

crumble Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I've never fed mine even small seedlings catch flies readily enough. Maybe if you keep them indoors it might be a problem but in the glasshouse they seem to attract almost too many insects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
