Repotting Drosera regia in Southern California: Big Pot, Loose Mix, Top-Watering

Pot & Media

Large white plastic pot (~12")—D. regia loves root space.
Mix: equal parts peat, perlite, pumice. If no pumice: 2 perlite : 1 peat.
Loose, airy media essential.

Light & Water

Full sun OK (your Darlingtonia success confirms).
Tray with small water amount; always top-water for circulation.
Prefers not too wet.

Transplant Care

Be very gentle with roots—D. regia is more transplant-sensitive than other sundews.

We love seeing mature D. regia.
