jdallas +1 karma your post illuminated the missing pieces of understanding in my d. Regia jigsaw puzzle, and quite possibly helped me retain my sanity

It makes me happy to hear that. It's right were I was when I started loosing plants, and someone told me about the warm nights problem. I was able to turn the situation around with that.

The largest leaves so far are about 12".

Do you find the plants 'difficult' or 'picky' at all?

Overall they continue to grow constantly, just not always "bigger."

hcarlton very nice; perhaps some day mine will reach that size

After watching them slowly decline over the winter (with the exception of one particular root cutting which for some reason is doing very well in the exact same conditions) I brought my two remaining D. Regias outside a week ago and I'm already seeing a positive change. I think they are gonna make it!!

I did take out some 'insurance' a few months back and set up some root cuttings in case disaster struck. I've got maybe 4 viable plantlets inside under grow lights. As soon as possible, I'll bring them outside as well and hopefully keep my colony alive long enough for me to crack the code

Next time I bring them inside I need to find a way for lower nighttime temps, or simply let them go dormant for the winter.
