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.
*See size information below*
Size and packing method: Medium plants have leaves 2-3 inches long and large plants have leaves 4-6+ inches long. Large plants should be moved to a bigger pot a few months after arrival. Plants will be packed securely to prevent dislodgment during shipping.

Light: Full sun or grow light equivalent
Soil: Carnivorous Plant Soil Mix, pure peat or peat-sand mix
Feeding: Feed bugs, dried bloodworms or fish food every 2-3 weeks, Maxsea fertilizer may also be used with care

Water: Keep soil damp but well drained during active growing season and dryer during dormancy, provide water that is low in salts and minerals such as rain or distilled water. This species does not like standing water.

The plant arrived in great condition. It is an amazing plant and much bigger than I thought it was going to be. Some venders call a plant large when it is in fact very small, but not these people. Large means LARGE :)
Extremely happy with my purchase!!

Came very healthy and it was during a very hot period over here in zone 7. Very satisfied because it was a pricey rare plant but very worth it.

My Drosera regia came intact and properly covered. It’s already thriving in my Drosera bog. Lovely plant!

Beautiful plant. Took a minute to acclimate and adjust to NW Wisconsin temps/conditions but it loves it here. Has tolerated up to 95F with high humidity for a day or two at a time. The tips of the leaves burned a little the first time around but as it has put up new growth, a couple of ice cubes in the water tray seems to leave it just fine to handle those temps. Some fertilizer and it is a vigorous grower and came in great condition and has a second growth point I will be separating when I repot. Bravo, I will be back.

This is the 4th plant that I’ve bought from “Curious Plants”. Every plant came packaged with the upmost care, and they were all stunning. I definitely recommend them for your carnivorous plant journey, and they’re the kindest people. No question is too “silly”, and they respond back promptly with any questions or concerns you may have. I’m in love with my plants, this business and the people who work here! 10/10! 🌺🌸
