I just discovered fungus gnats in the Multifida extrema pot. I'll have to repot them, and I'll take some root cuttings along the way.

Don't sundews eat fungus gnats?

They do. But not the larvae.

I fed one of my spatulata seedlings a larvae from either a fruit fly or a fungus gnat.

But, I don't have time to go through every MM of soil searching for a larvae. I hate that stuff.

Should have what you are looking for in a month or 2. I'll do trading with leaf cuttings.

Seems like budding in soil is faster. Saves me some trouble too.

Some of the things I'm propagating for panman. Drosera Anglica Alakai, and wide leaf capensis.

is the iwde leaf a root cutting?

Do you use pots without drainage to keep them super wet or do you just have a high water level? I’ve never actually propagated any cuttings and would like to start. I have some cuttings that I got from a purchase recently that are currently just in water cause I figure it was the safest way since I’ve got no experience doing it. I’ve got 3 leaves I was thinking of putting one in soil to see what happens. And I’m about to take some cuttings off my capes just for experimentation.

Ewreck,
I think both works. I just Keep them in a container without drainage because it saves me some space.

Bill Phoenix,
The wide leaf is a root cutting.

Propagations going well. I'll have some things for giveaway in a few months.
