okay well on one of my sundew pots its square
it contains D.Adelaes so i cut it down the side a couple months ago to remove some babies that had popped up (they wasnt getting good light)
well anyways ive noticed that they keep growing new plants from the roots is this natural?
and ever since i cut it down the side ive got like 10 new plants... plus some have grown out from the sides i cut and is now growing out the side of the pot thought this would make due for a Great picture.

Oooh, yes it is oh so natural, they will reproduce loads in any way they can, congratulations on your additions!

This can mean many things for me, 1, the plant is readly to die, therefore is giving, and producing new seedlings to spread more of its kind, 2, the plant is really healthy, have extra energy, therefore its producing more of its kind, 3, you're over-watering the plant, therefore it reproduces because the plant is dying, and repruduces more of its kind, 4, your plant is getting enogh sunlight, energy, therefore it produces more to spread more, 5, i have no idea

Good luck!

Oh, drosera adelae is known for tons of baby plantlets. That is
100% completely normal and it means your plant is very happy.

If i were you I wouldn't bother removing the plantlets.
A single plant can completely fill up a pot in 4 months
from producing the plantlets.
