Hello everyone! I joined to find out what to do with the baby plants growing on my flower stem.
I've had my plant for a couple of years now, I bought it from eBay labelled as "Drosera capensis ‘Giant’ form" (not sure if that's right or not as I know nothing about the different varieties).
I like to think I've been looking after it well as I feel it looks healthy and has grown a lot. But other than the basic care guide that came with it (no tap water, plenty of sunlight and letting it sit in water) I really don't know much about these plants!
I didn't even know they could flower when I bought it so that was a surprise the first time! I used to just cut the flower stem after it finished flowering... just learnt from your forum that they can self pollinate so may have to try collecting seeds at some point!
This time however I didn't cut the stem because... well, it's started to grow plants from the tip.
Should remove them from the flower stem and pot them up? If so how big they should be first and should just cut them off or do something else? Any advice would be appreciated! Pictures of the plant and the flower stem are below, sorry they're not the best quality photos!
