Default Re: Dividing flowering Venus Fly Traps.

Hi


Do they have a high strike rate? Bear in mind that I will have the flower stems sitting in water for maybe 3 days or more until I get to planting them. If the have a high strike rate I may put one per pot. Otherwise, I may plant a few in one pot. Another way could be to strike them in water. I have read that Nepenthes cuttings can be struck this way. I am not sure if that could work for Venus Fly Traps?

Each stalk is about 6 inches long. I assume that you are suggesting that I can cut each one into 3 pieces and after potting, I should cover the pots in plastic or put in a terrarium and expose to bright light but not sunlight. Is that a good idea?


Your help is appreciated
Regards Richard.
