I killed mine, it had fungus growing on it and before I could do anything it died back really quickly Hope others have better success!

Mine was lost in the mail for almost 2 weeks and when I received it, it was flat as a pancake! But I did take the roots and put it on some peat moss. I can send you one when they get larger, willy

Here's mine. I just threw it into my terrarium without any real special treatment, just a bit shadier of a spot than most plants get. I did keep a ziplock bag over the pot for a couple of days, but then it missed out on my misting system so I removed it. Seems to be doing alright anyways. Thanks sokkos!!! It was a very healthy plant to begin with, so it had no problem adapting to harder conditions for me. Unfortunately with my misting system I'm probably not seeing the full potential of all that glorious dew.

I killed mine, it had fungus growing on it and before I could do anything it died back really quickly Hope others have better success! Sorry to hear that Willy, but you're certainly not the first to have this happen. I've grown this D. regia for a few years now and I find that this species in general but especially newer divisions can rot extremely fast in overly wet, stagnant, or hot conditions. I've grown two seed-grown regia for years but I've only been able to get a handful of successful divisions because of this susceptibility under my care. But who know I could be doing it all wrong, as much as I admire dews, I'm not really a Drosera collector, but from what I understand regia isn't really a Drosera Good luck to the lucky recipients! Very generous offer sokkos.

Thank you, danyoh! I'm glad that the others regia are still alive. I have the roots (what's left now) placed on new 1:1 soil surface, hopefully something will strike. roraima, regia isn't really a Drosera?? I do read that it's very challenging and probably one of the drosera species that people don't have high rate of success in keeping.

Definitely a Drosera, although probably splitting from the earliest of the Drosera lineage.

I find regia really hard in my set-up. Also, I don't know if all the "brands" do it but some can enter dormancy. When it happens, I'm sure a lot of people think their plants in declining and try to save it yet if they did nothing, the plant would have probably raise again naturally after the rest period ...

...interesting note Shogg, D'Amato says these are believed to be distantly related to Dionaea (very strange, given their geography)....."an archaic species"...

Nice to hear some of you can get it growing. I've noticed that younger sundews from culture seem to transition much better to soil, especially if the roots are not too long. I've been on vacation the last two weeks and get back today. I'll take a look at the plants tonight and will get down on propagating more. I should have more to give out come fall.

Great to see all the feedback from those trying this. If it's hard for people then I would love one cause it will probably do good for me. If it's an easy one then I will probably kill it. I'm not even kidding.
