Managing Long Roots on King Sundew (Drosera regia): Pot Depth Solutions

Drosera regia (king sundew) develops very long roots. Wrapping roots upward in a taller pot is perfectly fine. Roots exiting drainage holes are also normal.

Alternative Deep Pot Ideas

• Tall plastic containers (drill drainage holes): e.g., 1-2 liter soda bottles, PVC pipe sections, deep nursery pots.
• In nature, roots hit bedrock—pot bottom is similar.

Good Growing!
