First Regia, any tips for me?

Tall pot, lots of light, less water than you'd normally provide a sundew (no tray.) The plants will go dormant if the photoperiod is too short (down around 10 hours) or if the temperatures get too high.

Holy hell sleeves!

I just saw your cephalotus post yesterday!

Man talk about skipping boot camp haha

Me skipping boot camp? Well I have been growing neps for about 4 years and sars and drosera for about 6 I figured why not.
Not sure I understand your boot camp comment. Lol. But thanks for the reply

What seems to be helping mine (I've grown it in a variety of different conditions) is high humidity, lots of light (I use LEDs) and temperatures on the cooler side. Also not sure if this helps, but it gets a nightly temperature drop. I basically grown mine with my highlands and it LOVES IT. It was struggling so much before; now though it's has tons of dew, fantastic color and is getting bigger.

Also, I learned from Fishman, that cold water flushes helps

Haha. No worries man. I'm pretty easy going. I was just confused by what you said is all. But yeah I do have a bit of buyers remorse as I'm most comfortable with nepenthes. But when you live an hour away from

It sure is hard not to buy stuff. Haha.

Grow them in semi to highland conditions. Keep roots cool, do not allow them to overheat. I water mine with cold water. If growing in live sphag, it is not necessary to keep the pot in standing water. Me, I grow all of my regia in 8:1:1 perlite, sand and peat. Tray method day and night 24/7 with a 10 degree drop at night. Excessive humidity not needed for very heavy dew production (bear in mind that is for my particular growing conditions). I grow mine under 600 watt leds.
