accidently snipped off a perfectly health trap while removing the dead ones since the pot was crowded
i then put it in a mason jar with distilled water and a hole in the lid under lights this should have a good chance at striking right?

Hi alabama,

I hate to say.... probably not... usually that only happens with, from what I understand, flower stocks, and leaf pullings (a small piece of the rhizome pulled off with the leaf).

Best of luck though

i saw someones post that did this with b52 trap and got plantlets so its worth a try

edit: refering to this post http://www.flytrapcare.com/phpBB3/strik ... t6861.html

I would say the trap strike is a rare occurrence... as I said I wish you nothing but the best and hope it does strike for you... But I also wouldn't be disappointed if it didn't strike.

Again best of luck, and be sure to let us know if it does strike

The leaf would do better in Live Sphagnum moss, as it was just an accident its worth a try to see if you get anything!

i heard that plant tissue lives longer in just distilled water so lets try it hehe, thanks tcdriver i wont be disappointed if it strikes or not but no need for anything that could be a plant to go to waste

Well yeah, youve got nothing to loose
