D. Regia Big Easy is my absolute favorite of this species.

Great thread Rob! Regia amazes me more and more every day! Especially how hungry they are. Mine will wrap it's leaves around anything in reach looking for a meal!

Any action shots gentlemen? :)
 
Wow I love that big mature regia! Excellent job on the potting Mass, I wish all my pots looked like that! Action shots would be... :drool:
 
As everyone knows, Regia is my favorite plant... Here are some shots of my babies.



Seedlings (bigger) and all the other pots have seeds in them. Some ave germination already. The two in front of the middle pot of seeds are big easy clones I propagated.

Close Up of My "Kracken" Eating... I named it that because it is the most intensely wrapping dew I've ever seen!

I can't wait to repot my biggest seedlings into their own big pots... Especially the "Kracken" and the one behind it.

Ah, I love the plants! I have a few seeds that should be sowed soon. Any tips?

My D. regia had been flowering this year.

Well established plants of D. regia are easy to keep, but I find it is nearly impossible to grow them from seeds. Although germination rate with fresh seeds is very good, all of my seedlings of D. regia tend to die within the first 12 months after germination for reasons unknown to me.

John Brittnacher feels the seedlings starve to death if not fed...

I followed John's advice and put osmocote into the seedling media. I used 3 pellets per pot of 5 seedlings. So far so good. :)

Big Easy was the easy one to obtain for awhile. Typical is the one that's tough to find.
