I got a Drosera regia today, and I had a few questions about it.
First of all, how many Osmocote pellets should I give it? And should I put them on the surface of the soil or try to bury them in the substrate? The plant's largest leaves are a little over two inches long right now.
Also, it's been kind of hot in Berkeley recently, so I was wondering if top-watering the plant with refrigerated water would help. I've read that it can stunt Sarracenia and Nepenthes growth, so I'm not sure if it is a good idea.
I have it growing on a east-facing window where it gets diffuse sunlight that is filtered through trees but would that be too much for it? I can move it to a place with blinds drawn if that is the case.
Thanks!
