I was working on repotting my drosera. My d.hamiltonii was looking very rough. Thought I was going to lose it so I decided to cut it down and attempt to grow some from the root cuttings. Well today I peeked in the pot and very happy to see some signs of life

Root cuttings seem to be a good way to save plants. Somehow I totally messed up on the acclimatization of wide -leaf capes that Shadowtski sent me.

Luckily, I saved them via root cutting, and I now have more wide leaf capes than I would have had.

Inspirational quote.
