Finally finished cleaning up the CPs and repotting everything except the filiformis this afternoon. My flower stalk cuttings are coming up on their first birthday, and I've been curious to see what has been going on beneath the surface of the moss. The LFSM in their pots was last refreshed in late fall. At that time, the tiny plantlets had developed traps but there weren't any noticeable roots. So, here's what I discovered when I refreshed their media yesterday.
Most of the cuttings formed a large number of plantlets. Here's "Big Mouth"...

And "Coquillage"...

Both of my "Big Mouth" cuttings developed some of the longest roots among the strikes with the roots on "Coquillage" being the norm.

But there was no question who the breakaway star of the group was. "DC XL" was the only one that decided to focus on quality instead of quantity. It only produced 4 plantlets, but they sure look pretty! Amazing for a flower stalk that was snipped on 4/29/18. The original cutting isn't even 11 months old yet!

Can't wait to see what those "DC XL" babies will look like the next time the LFSM is refreshed.
