Al the pygmy drosera can germinate form gemmae (modified leaf). If the gemmae are not removed from the centre of the plant when they are formed they can begin to germinate and overcrowd the parent plant. If you are growing thmem outdoors then generally rain will disperse the gemmae in the pot.

Removal of gemmae is easily done by tipping the pot upside down and gently scraping the centre of the plant with something similar to a toothpick. The gemmae will then fall down onto the surface below.
