Does anyone know a good website or video that tells how to do leaf pullings with a venus fly trap?

Leaf pulls off Dionaea are relatively easy... I've had decent success with striking them this past season.

If you are repotting the plant, you'll want to tug a leaf off with the white portion (rhizome) still intact. A clean removal as opposed to the leaf snapping off - commonly referred to as a cutting, often done successfully with Drosera. I don't believe cuttings work well with Dionaea. I've also managed to pull off roots with the pulling this way, I planted the entire piece and sprouted up a plantlet after some time, roughly a few months, in the same pot as mother plant.

If the plant is still nestled in its' pot, you can still take a pulling, though it takes a bit more work. I've been able to do it with a plant whose rhizome is slightly above the top soil. This way, I am able to remove a single leaf cleanly from green trap to white rhizome.

if repotting super easy grab really really close to the base of a leaf, pluck it off in one quick motion as noted above! I put ours in the same pots with the mother plant or if its all one type of plant I might put multiple in a new pot and label it. if I have a lot of stuff to pull maybe just a big bed of LFSM for it all and marked off sections

usually we just put them with mother pots though no rhyme or reason to it otherwise our way outdoors isn't exactly scientific by any means but we have baby plantlets sprouting up constantly in all our pots this way

if I see a leaf has started to go bad on a flytrap even the first sign of it I pluck it getting some of the rhizome and put it slightly into the medium

Thx for the comments, will try when repotting. How long does it take to see new life pop up?
