Pygmy questions for Khoas
 

Hi Khoas,

Hope you would help with the following questions. TIA!

1. Does D. pygmaea self-pollinate and produce seeds? Or do they have to be manually pollinated?
(I have a few plants from seeds. Some of them died along the way but I have got new plants popping up now and then. Not sure if they are from seeds which I couldn't see...but I don't see the plants producing gemmae too.)

2. Do Pygmies produces multiple growth points and start clumping...like D. paradoxa?
(Just today, I noticed one hybrid looking like it is splitting into two...will get a close-up pic later.)

3. Do Pygmies reproduce from the leaf?
(I have got some smaller plants appearing at the side of older plants. As with the D. pygmaea, I neither get seeds or gemmae.)

I really don't know if pygmea can self pollinate. I do know the seeds can germinate up to three years after sowing.
I have seen clumping of pygmea in the wild. I think damage occur to the rosette and new growing points come up from the roots.
I never seen leaf cutting of pygmy sundews in cultivation or in the wild. My belief is that there is not enough energy in the small leaves.
