Moved my bog garden to new pots a few months ago and ended up leaving the old soil. Found these little binata growing from bits of broken root the other day.

I was really surprised seeing these guys pop up. Guess drosera are a lot more resilient than I thought. I've got both growths moved into the main bog garden now, but I'll definitely be looking for more now.

That's how I got my binata Multifida. A grower split hers and repotted the plants, then dumped the moss in their compost pile. She didn't turn the pile for a while, but when she went to do that she found a cluster of strikes.
She dug them up and offered them for only shipping, and I was lucky enough to call dibs.
They're now half a dozen big plants with multiple forks on most of them.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.
