FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I have learned a lot through these forums and wanted to say thank you. I read about getting leaf cuttings and decided to give it a try in my terrarium, it worked!! I have about five more starting as well!! Sorry the pic is a bit blurry.

Nice! Glad we all can help!

That's awesome! Congrats!

Good luck with those!

can you post details?

Sure after reading up on leaf pullings I decided todo it! i had to do a bit of house keeping on my vfts and I pulled a few leaves off as low as I could get them, as a bit of rizome needs to be included,and put them in a small terrarium that had a led light included! Every so often I would check it and had to cut some of the blackened end off, but after a few months this is what I've ended up with, and I'm a proud mama. I know there's other ways but this is the only way I've tried it.

I'm definitely gonna try that someday

You certainly should. I had about six or so leaf cuttings to begin with and not all of them took, but now free I succeeded with those two I had to try again and now I have about five babies. They don't all have their roots yet but they are doing great so far! I figure it's a great way to et more of the plants that I adore with out the cost, plus I get to watch every step of the way! My next adventure is going to be starting them from seed, I am anxious to try this!!

So I have an update on the leaf pullings I had done and here is a pic of them now!

Here is a great step-by-step tutorial on how to perform VFT leaf pullings and propagate them.
