Quick question, when you grow sundews from root trimmings, will each plantlet grow a unique root, or will the original root have to be cut up, creating one for each plantlet?

If you see a plantlet growing, you can divide it from the other plantlet.
You do this by cutting the origional root into pieces.
In time, the plantlets will create their own roots.
