so i am messing around with making more "Drosera filiformis tracyi - Florida Giant" to make a big display for next year. the water method seems to be a lot slower for me than just cutting a 2in peace and sticking it in the pot, i get more with water but they are so tiny.



this was what i got from just potting cuttings vs water at the same time.(camera is bad so all u can see on water is blurry specs on side of leaf)



and this is phase 2 i started to day going to try using a plastic bottle with top off to keep humid in the house until i can get them started and moved outside without dome.



any advice or idea's?

I had one inch cuttings and the Filiformis V. Floridana Florida Red cuttings took off. I hope to grow them out this year and get more to experiment with next year. My Filiformis Tracyi seeds just started 8 days ago..

update - new growth

also moved the pot outside into dappled sun shade where i keep my highland nepenthes. hoping the heat will speed things along, also started a 2nd pot today. the plan is to harden off plants after i can see digestive glands on all new plants then start increasing light until full sun. hope they will be ready for dormancy in time.

this picture is the test run i did to see if this method would work for me i transplanted it from my captensis pot

That is cool looking! By the wayI awnted to know whether or not Florida giant is a form of tracyi or a form of iliformis filiformis thanks!

Nice! Glad to see how well that's doing! I had some tracyi cuttings but they just didn't pan out, but I got oe of those seeds finally sprouted! So I'll have Flrida Red and Tracyi this year at least.

seems moving out side really did speed up the growth this pic is 2 days later.

30 Days after taking cuttings and final update.

notes...
I used 2 inch cuttings half of cutting under media.
The window was bright indirect light all day and 3-4 hours of direct sun.
I think the open top of bottle and house AC stopped over heating in the short direct sun hours.
In the 30 days of this post 90% of the growth was in the last 10, be patient. =)

Ok so the adult plant is showing signs of preparing to go dormant this is a fresh pic of the clones. I'm hoping they are good to just let go dormant too at this size. Any advice?

Those are looking nice! Are those the same ones from 9 months ago?

yes, all my NA sundews are waking up
