I pulled this leaf, buried it, and forgot about it.

2 months later....LOOK!
NEVER give up on these amazing plants...

Its easier and much faster to remove the growth point preferably with some working young traps and root growth, then let the bottom part strike. They usually strike within 2 weeks and the traps are automatically started at a larger size, and most of the time, there will be multiple strikes.

With minimal size traps, it should still be possible to get that one up to 1/2inch sized traps by the end of the season if they are fed consistently with gnats, ants, or freeze dried bloodworms.

That's cool. Thanks.

It sounds like I need to peel off a part of the rhizome with roots and a few leaves?

Amazing how the plant is "tricked" into thinking its older...
