Drosera regia, also known as the King Sundew, is an incredible species. It grows long sword-shaped leaves that can wrap multiple times around prey, surrounding it with dew secreting tentacles that are equally impressive in size. Originating from a single valley in South Africa, it is one of the most vulnerable Drosera species in the wild with only a few hundred individuals left in one small colony.

Very nice plants. Very happy. Fast shipping. Just as pictured. The Regia might die back after shipping but it will come back from the roots after it establishes.

Was nicely sealed, though the plant didn’t look all too well it was yellowish on two of the whole rosette. New growth was brownish. But overall was pretty happy hopefully it’ll grow new ones eventually.

I ordered D. Aliciae, D. Regia and D. Graomogolensis (Bare Root Plants). The packaging was meticulous. The plants were robust with well developed roots. A+.
