Guest Aidan Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Wouter - 'Aphrodite' is a great colour! Your D. regia look very good. What is the minimum temperature they are kept at over the winter? The plant in the middle is the one that came from you about this time last year. It has been kept warm and lit and is growing well.

Cromp Posted February 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Wouter - 'Aphrodite' is a great colour! I have spares! My regias are all in the conservatory, they have had light frost. Last year we had -12 °C for a week, the temperature in the conservatory dropped slightly below freezing even at day, I had taken most of my regias inside. One or two young specimens stayed where they were - the soil surface was frozen but they grew just fine afterwards. The plant I sent you sure grew alot in just one year. I guess very high light intensity is the trick if you wanna grow it in a terrarium; I almost lost my single plant in 2002, growing in a modestly lit terrarium.

dovewill Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Not my speciality plant-wise but superb photos. Definately should be entered into the photo contest. Well Done :thumleft: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aidan Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hey Aidan, how much light do you have your D. regia under? 4 x 55W high intensity, high frequency, cool white tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCarnifreak Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Very nice plants Wouter! Schitterende regia's! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christerb Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Lovely plants, but you need to get that D. slackii infestation under control :) Regards, Christer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langy Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hi, Wouter Stunning plants, you do have a good touch with the Drosera. :wavey: Langy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Truesdell Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Hey Wouter, what makes your D. slackii so happy? I've killed alot, but they come back from the roots, I can never really keep one plant in check for a long time. I grow mine in Sphagnum. Thanks!

Pizzicara Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Hey Wouter, what makes your D. slackii so happy? I've killed alot, but they come back from the roots, I can never really keep one plant in check for a long time. I grow mine in Sphagnum.Thanks! Dustin, in my experience temperature seems to effect it more than soil mix; I keep mine with my highland/intermediate neps and they do great. If they stay over around 80ºF in the day or under 48º in the night for too long, they croak. It only takes one time :? But as you said, they always come back from the roots in tenfold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cromp Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Hi Dustin, I'm growing them in peat/perlite/sand. I tried some in Sphagnum (as D'Amato recommends) but they never got quite as red as those growing in peat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Truesdell Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 So they must have an affinity for tannic acid, in the peat moss. Thanks for the insight Wouter. I appreciate it! I'm running around 26C in the day and 11C at night. I think I'm in the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
