Drosera regia Soil Mix: Coarse Mix Works, But Use Large Pots

The coarse soil mix (heavy in sand) is suitable for Drosera regia, but use the largest pot manageable—this species needs cool roots and excellent drainage. The mix must stay open and well-drained.

Media changes reflect that no single mix is perfect for all conditions. Example: Cephalotus thrived in Nepenthes mix (NZ sphagnum + perlite) with top-watering only, but would rot in sandy mix if tray-watered. Match media to your watering method and environment.
