Sundew Cuttings?

I am interested in showing my kids (5 & 7) the possibilities of growing plants from leaf cuttings and sundews look awesome! They have enjoyed nursing their VFT back to health and feeding it the occasional snack of a little fly or bug. Would anyone care to share a few with us? I have feedback for non-plant related things on ebay and etsy. I could get the shipping cost only class size kit from another website( FTC is sold out of sundews), but I'd rather not waste them, we only really need a few.

Please?

I could take cuttings from my D. capensis alba, and D. filliformis for shipping. I could also give you a few small seedgrown D. spathula. I would recomond the capensis though becuase it is the easiest to take care of, but the filliformis could be treated the same way as a flytrap.

Also, i could send them already growing, would need to wait a few months, or just the leaves,

Thank you! Easier would be better, as we are very new to CP. I was looking at the water methods, do they work for Drosera? We don't have access to grow lights.

That would be great. Any type you can send even just leaves is fine, my kids and I love to try and do it ourselves. Do you take paypal?
