http://s4.images.proboards.com/xx.gifDrosera intermedia- Propagation from leaf
« Thread Started on Apr 25, 2008, 3:03pm »
Though I share this. In February after CNY, I didn't like the look of my intermedia. So I pluck out the anaks/side shoots from the main plant, applied some rooting hormone on the base then planted in peat moss.

Expecting the shoots to root, I decided to examine the pot. Then I found the plantlets at the stick part of the leaf. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

The Plant

The side Shoots (this is a new one, similar to what I planted) Red circle are the plantlets

Side shoot in pot (transferred once cos original pot developed algae) Red circle are the plantlets

Wondering if I am correct to use keikeis to describe the growth from the leaf. Me thinks this is similar to Anthene's D. adelae where the anaks growing from the leaf cuttings. Reference to Anthene's posting: http://petpitcher.proboards61.com/index.....play&thread=444

If other people can confirm this from their experience means Drosera can me propogated from leaf.

Bactrus, quite a few droseras can be grown from leaf cuttings. D.Intermedia included. It also works for d.filiformis, d.spatulatha, d.capensis, d.binata. d.adelae etc. Some like d.paradoxa will need you to tug or pull off the whole leaf stem including the whitish part for it to germinate.

Have fun.

I used to give out D. intermedia leaves to my students in those mini chilli sauce containers, filled with tap water. Within 2-3 weeks, a plantlet would sprout in the middle of the leaf. They really enjoyed themselves...maybe except for the ones who kept killing the leaves by putting the container out in the hot sun. http://s4.images.proboards.com/wink.gif

hmm, just curious. did you pull the leaf off or use a scissor to cut it off to propagate?

which sundew are you referring to plse ? from my own collection, only d.paradoxa needs the whitish part of the leaf stem so it needs to be pulled off. the rest, leaf cutting s/be fine.

Dear Unidentified, I used a tweezer to pull out the side shoots to germinate. The leaf sprouting is by accident. it is actually the leaves of teh side shoots which are touching the media sprouting. So no I have just yanked a couple of leaves, placed on wet peat moss to try.

Hi Ba...

I think you would wanna place them on wet chopped long speg moss rather then peat... this work better for me... just base on my own experience...

Yup Jon you're right. Wait till I report them later. Check last night after I got back from Ipoh, no roots yet. So I tot the peat moss will supply more liquid to the stem.

Brother, your guess is as good as mine. Robert once told me that the humidity in Malaysia, which is 80+%, is sufficient already. You try and let me know.

be careful that the increase in humidity may lead to fungus growth on your leaf cuttings.

applying fungicide should help, but i'm not sure. hehe leaf cuttings of D. intermedia strike well enough for me to just pluck them out and ignore them.

swt, just make some intermedia cutting in sphag. moss and peat moss. curios weather if i could chop filiformis's leaf into few parts and propagate them, since the leaf is so long. one leaf produce one plant is kindda slow. think this will work?

it sprouts well in my local humidity (i.e. without any covering). i guess if you want to increase humidity, you can, but just keep on eye out for mould/fungus. http://s3.images.proboards.com/wink.gif
