Default Re: Dividing flowering Venus Fly Traps.

Hi


What fraction of the flower stalk should be above the ground? Should I possibly put half above the ground and half below?


Also, would it be a good idea to soak the cuttings in a 10% bleach solution for about 10 minutes to sterilize them? I read this suggestion for Nepenthes and other cuttings. After they are soaked in the bleach solution they could then be soaked in water for a couple of minutes.

Perhaps there are other chemicals that are better and safer to use then bleach. Do you know of any that are affordable or mix well with water?

Your help is appreciated
Regards Richard.
