Hello everyone,
This could be 90% Impatience, and 10% curiousity, but has anyone ever pulled pitchers or leaves wit success past the Spring? I have read as much available material as i can find. Some sources i have found say to not take pullings past early spring. Others don't mention any certain time to take pullings or divisions/rhizome cuttings, just how. I can understand if this is not a wise thing to do to a plant outside of the growing season because the chances of success or lowered to the point of not making it worth it. However, if people have taken pullings outside the growing season let me know. I will let patience prevail if it isn't wise to do so!
Is this because of inadequate developement from pulling till dormancy for the young plantlet? would artificial conditions help change the odds?
Or is it because of the natural growth cycle of the plant?
To many plants... not enough time...
