Drosera regia (King Sundew) Leaf Tip Burn: Cool Nights and Media Matter

Key Dislikes

• Too wet—let tray dry before rewatering.
• Too warm—needs cool nights (50s°F). South African mountain origin.

Media Recommendation

Avoid long-fiber sphagnum (causes rot). Use equal parts peat, perlite, pumice (± sand). Larger pots improve performance.

Recovery Tip

If top dies, don't discard—new shoots often emerge from roots.

Good Growing!
