Default Re: The best way to grow Drosera leaf cuttings.

Hello

I put some Drosera leaf cuttings in water over 3 months ago. Some of the plantlets are about 1 centimeter long but have produced few if any roots. Should I wait a couple more months for roots to form before I plant them out or after this length of time would you suggest planting them even if the plantlet has no roots? I am happy to wait so long as it is not best to plant after a certain time period and so long as the plants continue to grow in the water. If there is a maximum time limit in the water you suggest what is it? We are currently in the Autumn.

I could plant the ones out that have roots and leave the others that do not have roots if you suggest that? I have had Drosera Capensis, Adelae, Spatulata, and Venusta to strike in water by leaf cuttings.

Your help is appreciated
Regards Richard
