Drosera regia root cuttings and repotting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- In this video, I will show you how to take root cuttings from Drosera regia (The King Sundew). These plants produce large black roots which can become very long. Wayward roots can be trimmed from the plant with very little detriment. These root cuttings can then be used to grow nee plants which will quickly establish.

Oliver's Greenhouse thanks oliver now i can ask my family to chrck out for seeds or so
thank you
What a neat trick for reporting into a bigger pot. Very minimal root stress that way.
Fascinating, I learn so much from your videos. Thanks.
Looks great. I just bought a Drosera capensis alba or cape sundew. I keep checking for insect munching but nothing yet. They were selling 2 at our local orchid open house. I did not know what it was -no tag. Thanks for the videos on these guys.
Cape Sundews are great. I have two mature plants which are over two years old now and have produced many new plants. The 'Alba' form is by far the prettiest in my opinion. Don't be afraid to feed them once a week with just normal fish food flakes. just a little bit on the tentacles of a leaf will accelerate their growth exponentially. Thanks for watching
Danke schön, mein guter Mann. Thanks for watching
awesome video! I finally bought my first sundew (spatulata) the gnats are driving me crazy!!!
Great video ans information.. I am one that have struggled with this plant but I picked up some helpful info.. I have a Regia that has a straight black root with no runners or fiber on it? Is that a normal root system?
wow music at the end is real loud. enjoyed your video. happy growing
update on root cutting?
great
i like your setup. neat and ordered
+aBerlin1945 Thank you for that nice comment.
Lmao I used to have that exact same Gojira shirt.
Good video, greetings from germany :)
Sundews and Gojira
nice tshirt also!
My new growth decided it doesn't want to finish growing. It's like they started and got stuck and look like they're giving up and dying. Any advice? ......also... my cat ate it today v.v we don't even know how he got up on the shelf cuz there was NO space for him to fit. So I'm really depending on this new growth to save the plant.
Another great video Oliver. You mentioned Osmacote you give 3 - 4 granules to the plant. is that all you give, and at what intervals.
Thanks.
Danny.
+Danny Davies The Osmacote pellets are slow release and will feed the plant for up to 6 months to a year. You can also place them in Nepenthes pitchers.
yours and mine are practically identical
what kind of pots of those and where can you get them?
Why a tall thin pot as apposed to a more round pot?
Where these plants grow in the wild they have to take advantage of underground springs and seeps. Because it is so hot at the surface for the majority of the time they have developed a deep root system to take advantage of this. I have chosen a deep slender pot to simulate this environment. A large number of carnivorous plants have surprisingly long roots, pygmy sundews especially. Some of these tiny plants measuring only a few centimetres when fully mature can have roots which can extend up to 40 cm. Thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks Oliver, your Chanel is outstanding!
+Sherry Walker That is very kind of you. I'm working on it. More daylight now, so more content coming soon 😁
curious, isn't it advised to repot (anything ) during a dormant period?
+Mr.Personality My D. regia doesn't get cold enough to go into a dormant phase. I have owned D. regia before and I kept it cold enough that it formed hibernaculum. My D. regia is definitely in active growth at the moment so a good time to repot. Thanks for watching
Oliver's Greenhouse wait, you do t give it dormancy? detrimental?
+Mr.Personality apparently not! It gets down to 15℃ during winter in the greenhouse but no colder. Growth slows until it is almost imperceptible but doesn't cease. I know others who keep this species in highland conditions with no problem. Mine likes it!
any update on your regia?
mostly not,so i guess we have to experiment
is silica sand safe for CP?
Yes
