mosesobe1 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 As everyone knows that Drosera Regia if not fed properly as seedling they starve to death, please see attached pictures for Regia seedling how they curl around prey on their first dewy leaf! https://www.flickr.com/photos/145572129@N03/shares/d2Lr1m 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 As everyone should know, Drosera regia seedlings only starve to death if grown unnaturally in sterile conditions, indoors under lights. Grown more naturally in a greenhouse with natural light they do just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Baba Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Agreed, mine catch enough food for themselves in my greenhouse, and are growing and flowering happily without any assistance from me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivine Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I've grown some D Regia from seed, set on 9th January 2012, and they flowered for the first time this week. Growing very well and catching plenty of flies for themselves. Drosera Regia 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argo88 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Apologze for too much post, I'm not good with p.c.;-) Carnivine, beautiful plant!!!! I think that' stage best think growing Your own plant from seed to adult size... Especially if it is a plant like a Drosera regia!!! Well done!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yossu Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I've grown some D Regia from seed, set on 9th January 2012, and they flowered for the first time this week. Growing very well and catching plenty of flies for themselves. Wow, what a beautiful photo! Never seen these in flower before. How old is the plant? I've got one that's only about a year or so old (last year's seedling I think), and am wondering when I can hope to see something like this. Thanks for posting the pic.

Tropicat Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Is there anyone who does fertilise their d. regia? What do you do for winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
