Started in june.
From drosera capensis roots cuttings in the pot, which developed in about 3 weeks. What can i do next ? How much time they will develop dew ? I must protect them with a plastic lid or something ? Answers in the future. Updated : Never used a plastic lid and developed some dew.
The photos shows all 3 and where taken on 25/06/2011

The photos where taken on 30/06/2011 (grow fast)

After removing the 2 dried above soil drosera capensis, i have done done more root cuttings (4 of them), 1 plantlet was hidding under a bit of media besides the dried drosera capensis, and is about 1 inch below and a half of inch above. From 2 main plants, the roots from one is still under media, because i didn't wanted to disturbed the plantlet from the below image.

The one that was hidding under the media (4th) and was under the media, it is more robust under surface. The other one (5th) appears from the media, from the root i leaved in the media.

Very nice looking plants you have there... I don't know anything about your questions... just thought you should know your babies look great.

You just treat them like any other plant. And they will need time to eventually grow and mature. Dont keep your expectations high

Why "Dont keep your expectations high" ?
Edit : Changed the title to Roarke's jurnal : 3 Drosera c. plantlets from root cuttings.

By saying don't keep your expectations high i meant like don't expect them to grow really fast and produce lots of dew. all of a sudden

Updated.

whoa... look at how big they are getting...
That foreign way of putting the date confused me for a bit
Americans: MM/DD/YYYY
Everywhere else: DD/MM/YYYY
I was so lost because August 7th hadn't happened yet, then I remembered.

I would keep expectation high. Capensis grow like beasts especially from root cuttings, in less than a few months you could have nearly mature plants!
