Default Propagation - leaf pulling with rhizome and root

Two months ago I tried to inspect my venus flytrap to see whether I can separate the mother plant into several small plants. However,during unpotting of the mother plant I accidentally pulled a not so healthy looking leaf but it has rhizome and root. As a result I decided to try my first leaf pulling experiment with that leaf. Anyway, I found that the mother plant has only one rhizome therefore a single plant.

The medium used for the leaf is new wet sphagnum moss in water tray.The pot is left outdoor under a clear plastic shade with exposure to direct sun light but protected from heavy rain.

I noticed that it takes about 5 weeks to obtain growth of baby venus flytrap (1cm diameter size) from that leaf pulling.

Below showns the progress of the propagation. Hope this is helpful to other CP friends.
