Some drosera sp. can propagate using leaf cutting. Beside laying them flat on top of media, some of them also can propagate using water method. On January 2009, I try it with D. paradoxa, D. intermedia ‘cuba’, D. spatulatha and D. binata var extreme leaf. The container will put in shaded place and will do water change if it is diry.
After 2~3 weeks, Drosera that produce plantlet is,
D. intermedia ‘cuba’ –> all leaf produce plantlet, each leaf have 1 ~ 3 plantlet
D. binata –> 1 out of 2 leaf produce plantlet, each leaf have 4 plantlet
D. paradoxa –> I have 2 leaf in water and 1 produce plantlet
D. spatulatha –> no plantlet produce
Will try this…Thanks!
It is very easy. But, it is not workable for all sp. of drosera. So far, as i know, D. burmanii cannot propagate by leaf cutting. And D. spatulatha will not get any plantlet using water method. Others, still not really sure yet.
Nice one ! I’m going to try this also.
Btw, did you also put it outside for full day sunlight too?
I put the container at shaded place. Because, if put under direct sunlight, you will cook those leaf…
Cheeerrssss…
Nice! They never seem to work for me. I normally remove plantlets and pot them up separately. Even then they take some time to start growing again.
So far, I tried intermedia for 2 or 3 times, all of them got plantlet. You must try it
Thank caseyhoo for the tip really helpful.
happy that you all like it. thanx…
Wow,this is really great and helpful.
thanx…
I will try this. At what point in the plant’s cycle should this be done? I know that some drosera don’t have a dormancy requirement, but all mine seem to. Is this something best done early in the cycle?
