Re: Propagation - leaf pulling with rhizome and root
 

Hi , 2 days back i separated 1 VFT into 3 pieces. All with rizhome and also roots. Hope they can grow like your. Actually i tried the same method before last year. 2 out of 3 survived. :laugh:

So they need rizhome and less sunlight?

Thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately my oldest VFT is 1 year old ++ (I bought it from Casey). That's mean I need to wait for 3 or 4 years before I can apply this technique.

By the way, one of my VFT seed is already germinated (https://forum.petpitcher.net/showthre...5045#post15045). I need to know what should I feed on that seedling since its traps will be so tiny...

Thanks....

Since they are so tiny, dont need to feed them... just left it be... It will find their own food... And grow bigger and bigger...

Where is the trap?Under the skin of the seed?

Hi Marvin, I don't quite understand what you mean, can you explain it further more? :smile:

I think he means where is the trap? Still haven't emerge? BTW my akai ryu has produced small baby plantlets without me noticing until I saw some miniature traps when I was trimming my plants.

Hai Powersensor....
I've got a few Q for you...How do you plant the leaf?did you just placed the pulled leaf "ON TO" the growing media or partially plant the end of the leaf "IN TO" the media...
Thanks for sharing...

Re: Propagation - leaf pulling with rhizome and root
 

For me, I use 2nd method. placed partially plant the end of the leaf "IN TO" the media
