Well color me pink and call me Bob, I was mighty surprised today to see a plantlet growing from an uncut leaf on my critical condition Drosera Adeale. Seems like its bound and determined to keep the family line going in the event it doesn't make it. So now I'm wondering on how to go about this.
There's a high chance that whatever is left of the mother plant above the soil is going to die off as it suffered some very severe root shock, and it looks like the urge to grow the plantlet was triggered accidentally as the part its growing on had a small smattering of soil on it, and the beginning part of the leaf had died but the rest of it remained alive. How do I make sure I can give it the best chance of life? Should I just cut the leaf off, if so, do cover it with soil, or leave it be on top of it?
