Default Re: Are root cuttings better? Best growing conditions?

Richard, I`ve only done root cuttings for d.binata as the adult plant I had suddenly took a turn for the worse & started going into semi-dormancy. It worked well for me when placed in a bright area in a tray of water. I watered it daily. Plantlets appeared in about 10-14 days.

The other sundews I propagate via seeds or leaf. I wouldn`t want to sacrifice a healthy adult just for the sake of propagation via roots. Esp if it`s a single plant. *smile*
