Nigel H-C Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I'm rather struck with the idea of dusting off my original Drosera regia for Chelsea this year. It will be the first time it's been displayed in probably 8 years. I recently had to snap the rhizomes which had spread out over the edge of the pot and re-plant them back inside. Net result, a much tidier plant, but it still weighs around 18 kgs! The problem is, it may be too big for the display... Nigel HC 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danl82 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 My gut feeling would be to take it, its a lovely plant and I always feel that its good to let people see what is possible with time and care. It's easy to see mass produced, misidentified, tiny plants for sale in gc's and hardware stores all over the place, they're not usually impressive or even that attractive. But a specimen like that is the kind of thing to catch people's attention and make them want to try and grow some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel H-C Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Indeed, it's in a 35 litre pot! Nigel HC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picol Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I entirely quote danl82, that plant deserve to be shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
