I took a cutting from both d. adelaea and d. spatulata a month ago... D. adelaea cutting is sprout ****es... I think 3 ****es are now visible and looks like plantlets and more bumps (not sure if these are plantlets or not). The d. spatulata leaf cutting is still green after a month but not sign of growth yet... I got a question... Two actually.... 1. Anybody here ever tried "leaf cutting in water propagation" for drosera? Namely D. adelaea and d. spatulata? 2. If so... How do you treat the cuttings when it sprouts? When is the best time/size to start planting the plantlets out? I just snip the leaves and put them in those jelly containers with cover half filled with rested tap water and put these in a bright spot (no direct sunlight).

Adelae but not from the water method. U can see it here I cant remember exactly how big the adelae ****es when i transplant it, but i think they were very little at that time, about 1 cm in height. Transplanting them each by cutting the mother leaf is a bit tricky. Use VERY sharp scissors/ blades. Sometimes u cant get exactly one baby per cutting because they are very small. Maybe 2-3 ****es per cutting. The second time i tried to propagate it thru leaf cutting is by cutting them into smaller pieces before sowing them. It is easier to isolate the ****es when they sprout Link to Post - Back to Top Logged[Naj Grow List] --- [Naj Wanted List]lishamSenior Member member is offline Joined: Jun 2007 Gender: Male Posts: 393 Location: Langkawi Re: Lishams' Drosera« Reply #27 on 19 Aug, 2007, 14:43 »Hey artificialive... Thanks for the info... This is my first try propagating drosera... Just got them like 2 months ago me think... was going through cpuk site methinks wehn I come across this articile saying that's it's possible to propagate drosera through leaf cutting soaked in water... Just trying to get more plants of the same species... It worked... I think the first visible plantlet is just 3 mm tall but they're growing fast... cos last week I checked it was only a slight bump on the leaf... I was not using the best of leaf to start with... The one i used was bitten by grasshopper me think, got a bite mark right in the middle of the leaf....

This is mainly becos, in my opinion, it will be a bit harder for the ****es to acclimatize with its new surroundings when we transplant them (100% humidity down to around 80% humidity). Dont want alot of casualties tho Anyway, do report your progress Lisham, would like to know more about water propagation!

My d. indica is trying to "mate" again... Just checked the plant, it's putting out another set of flowers... I know we've been through this before... I'm going to keep the flowers this time... So the questions are- 1. Is it possible for me to have the flower and the original plant? 2. If keeping the plant after flowering is not possible, how do I polinate the flower and how to deal with them, to make them produce viable seeds? 3. After flowering, how do I know if the flower is turning into seed pods, how long for the seed pods to mature and ready for seed collection and how to collect the seeds? 4. Assuming the flower resulted in seeds, how to germinate them?

But i think d.indica can also be propagated by leaf cutting ( i haven`t tried but will try soon, from experience it looks like it can be propagated easily via leaf cutting ) so you might want to let the plant get more robust & stronger before letting it flower. Meanwhile, you can try via cuttings. Savage garden says that only d.regia and d.burmanii won`t propagate via leaf. So i guess the rest of the sundew varieties is possible.

D. indica is a strict annual, meaning it'd die after flowering. 2. D. indica self-pollinates so you don't have to do anything, but to have a good seed set, you may want to protect the flowers from rain (if they're exposed). my experience is that flowers that open during rain = smaller seed pods. 3. the seed pods formed are green, they'd be mature when the individual pods turn black halfway. usually that's when i collect them and store the pods till they dry and turn black entirely, before splitting them to obtain the seeds. but if i'm mailing them out, i'd mail them out right after collection. they'd dry out while they're in envelopes. 4. simply sow them on your drosera potting mix, keep the pot on a water tray. leave the pot in a bright area, protected by rain and you should see baby D. indica in 2 weeks.

Yes, it's growing, growing and multiplying... It's all your fault Tarence... You shouldn't have introduced me to the cute furry little insect eaters... Not that it's a bad thing to intro me to them any way.  Tried and tested... spats will sprout from it's leaves (cutting or otherwise...) if you let the leaves be in contact with moist spagmoss... Tried and tested... D. adelaea will sprout in *tap water (boiled and cooled, left overnite). The Method Just pour 1-2" of water into those clear food container, snip a leaf or two, pick the most bestest leaves with less leftover insect(s) sticking to it... Remember the goo/dew doesn't feel like fun on fingertips... Use tweezers. Make sure you soak the leaves instead of just floating in the water. Cover the container. Put somewhere bright. Forget about it for a while. If it's still green after a week, then it might work... If it turns brown... Congratulations... it's not working... If the water turns green... Change it... Wokay Tarence... that information will cost you half a dozen of cp of your choice... Wait a minute... did u just said u got too many spats? you got my address.... Tarence... that is the joy of using tweezers and brow scisors to trim and pluck spag moss on your cp... You tend to notice things...

So sacrifice 1 leaf of D. spatulata, u'll get 1 baby. sacrifice 1 leaf of D. adelaea, more than 1 ****es. « Last Edit: 2 Sept, 2007, 20:07 by lisham »Link to Post - Back to Top LoggedDavidAdministrator member is offline Joined: Dec 2006 Gender: Male Posts: 2,326 Location: Kuala Lumpur Re: Lishams' Drosera« Reply #47 on 6 Sept, 2007, 18:17 »Ok folks, I've moved the disscussion on D. indica to a new thread entitled "D. indica cultivation.

What am I going to do with it? Leave it there? Or do I need to do stuff like statification (I dont know the meaning ofthis word... seriously)?

If the seed pods are damp, dry them first before crushing. No stratification needed, just sow straight to medium. Stratification just means duplicating the seeds original growing conditions to enable them to sprout i.e. if usually the seeds go thru winter before germinating, then a period in our fridge could assist to duplicate the conditions & help to soften the the hard seed coat. It isn`t easy tho, that`s why I try to avoid CP seeds which require stratifying. Have to worry about fridge temp, moisture levels, etc etc. Link to Post - Back to Top LoggedlishamSenior Member member is offline Joined: Jun 2007 Gender: Male Posts: 393 Location: Langkawi Re: Lishams' Drosera« Reply #54 on 20 Sept, 2007, 15:52 »ok ok... Let them turn brown/black. Let them dry, crush it with fingers in windless area, sow straight into medium. It wont kill the plant right to let it flower?

Now About D. paradoxa... The cutting (1 of 2) Nothing happens on this end This image is reduced by 13%, click it to view full size.  I've been so-so in propagating D. spatulata, D. intermedia and D. adeleae. My experience (using the cutting-in-water method) works even if I use tap water (boiled and let cool first of course in plastic food containers). So usually with the previous species, the planlets always appeared on the leaves (D. spatulata and D. intermedia plantlets appears right in the middle of the leaves while D. adeleae always somewhere around the leaves). So last month I plucked a couple of D. paradoxa leaves with the white areas attached and covered them with moist LFS inside plastic containers... Been checking for signs of growth, but nothing happens, the leaves are getting browner and browner everytime I checked. So today, I gave up on my D. paradoxa cuttings (I hate to admit that I threw away the first experiment batch without bothering to check the other end)... I picked up the whole thing and was about to put them in a plastic bag when I saw IT! It sprouted from the white tissue instead of on the leaf... D. paradoxa is really a paradox! The sprouting end!

It wont set seeds eh? OK... Will chop (chop is such a strong word, I'll gently snip snip the flower bud off instead) later... I think your D. paradoxa cuttings will start sprouting soon.... I mean if I can do it, then everybody here can do it.... p/s: 1 off topic question... How can you guys let your sarrcenia flower? It smells like a cats' urine... No... That's an understatement... Lemme rephrase that... It smells like a cats' urine, the cat who lives on petai all of its' life... Now that's how bad sarracenia flower smells like....

And without another clone or form, pollination will not set seed. Are the paradoxa cuttings place under bright light? Off-topic: It depends on the species or hybrid you have. My sarra flowered three times and each time I poillinated it manually. No smell. I have a very sensitive nose so I guess I was lucky. Even my Nep flowers all only smell like pandan leaves so far.

Cindy: D. paradoxa cuttings are placed in clear plastic food container with lid. I put them near the mother plant... The mother plant gets at least 4-5 hours of morning sun. Every week I'd open the container for a few minutes to check for growth (been checking all this while on the wrong end  ).About the Sarra bloom... Mine's a red hybrid that looks half-way like s. purpurea but taller... Stinks!
