Default Re: drosera binata

Unfortunately my experience with Binata is the same as what piceslim said they won't self pollinate, heck even if I manually rub two separate flower stalks of the same clone, meaning 2 plants which are clones of each other flower together and I try to manually pollinate them, doesn't work.

My suggestion, you can either cut the flower stalk and stick them in potting mix, just like a leaf cutting. Or wait till the flower gets "ripe" and try to see if you can get seeds, then if the flower stalk is still green, do as my first suggest and cut the stalk and try to root as cutting. Though someone I know said that best way to propagate Binata is to do root cuttings, roots under the pot is cut and then put on potting mix.

TTFN
