Penny for size reference. I am guessing amount of light and amount of UV may be affecting amount of red and size or lack of size. Maybe plants making excessive red color are burning up resources that could be used for growth?

I have been able to self them and get seed, but so far i cant seem to get the seeds to germinate. pollinating these guys again this year to see if i cant get more seeds and can test this again. Might need warmer conditions to get them to germinate. not unlike what people are finding for getting the South American Drosera leaf cuttings to sprout.

Gorgeous looking plants!

From some of your wonderful photos it looks like you grow your dews in a sand mix. What type of soil do you use to get your dews and that nice moss to grow?

Absolutely stunning sundews! It's threads like these that make me wonder why I am still dinking around with Nepenthes in terrariums. Good luck with the D. regia seedlings. :)

I am using a peat sand and volcanic rock mixture. All depends on how much drainage you need for the particular plant....
