For a few months, yes, but not indefinitely.
Flytrap roots aren't built for aquatic environments, so they can't sustain the plant long-term in such an environment.
If grown in nothing but water, they'll grow for a few months, then eventually go into decline and die - most likely before the end...
Anywhere from 2-4 months.
The pullings/cuttings were put in water about 8-10 weeks ago. I removed and potted them 10 days ago.
Their growth rate depends primarily on the age of the parent plant, light intensity, and genetics (some flytraps are fast growers, while others are slower...
The top of the water was around 10 inches below the T5's, water was ~3 inches deep and the pullings all sat at the bottom. You just need to make sure it's not so close that the water is too far inside the light's heat. If the water heats up too much, the pullings cook and the whole thing fails...
A couple months ago I did some water propagation with a few leaf pullings/flower stalk cuttings.
They sat under T5's for somewhere between 2 and 3 months before being potted.
Here are some macros of them. The "10 days later" photos were taken today.
Here are a few still underwater, where...
Nice! Do you have a post somewhere showing or discussing progress, etc?
I second Cthulhu138's recommendation on the sarr seedlings.
You can also keep sarr seedlings under lights 24/7 for the first two years of their life.
Here's one of the threads that discusses this...
My young Cephalotus arrived on April 5, 2012.
I planted it in a 2:1 mix of silica sand/peat moss. The extra sand helps keep the soil from staying too soggy, which it seems to appreciate, but it does dry out faster than other soils.
The day after I got it, transplant shock set in, and the tiny...
Gorgeous plants, Jim!
To your adelae dubiosity, I wouldn't hazard a guess as to an ID based on that one picture, but -
Here's a drosera adelae (photo from Feb 2010) in the process of forming its first adult leaves. It may give you an idea about your plant.
If you think they're springtails, poke/nudge the bigger ones with a toothpick.
If they "vanish"/jump away, they're springtails.
If they squish, you pushed too hard. :P
I don't know the answer to this, but here's the material safety and data sheet and product label.

I've had good results using AzaMax (considered organic, I believe) as a spray/drench for both aphids and fungus gnats, as well as thrips; used on N. ampullaria, flytraps, Sarrs, and even drosera (although drosera dewpoints get burned and the plants suffer a setback).
The mix I used:
23.67 ml...
Here's my two cents on the letter.
I'd consider removing the quotes. Comes across as condescending with the way it reads, and opens the letter on a negative note.
If you piss him off right off the bat, the rest of the letter loses power.
Instead of ordering him not to sell the plants, maybe...
