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.

Just received my Drosera Regia “large”. It arrived in excellent condition and was packaged really well. Definitely needs to be in a bigger pot! I will order more plants in the future from Curious Plant!

Plant was large, as advertised, and still had dew when it arrived. It was sealed in a pot to protect the roots and soil, and foliage was carefully sealed with a large plastic cup. Very happy with what I recieved since it never stopped growing since I received it.
