Pics of my sundews & an repot question

[NaRnAr]

I dont have a macro lens for my camera, sorry some are not the most fabulous, but here they are!

D. capensis...they were once small little boogers... (01.06.09)

..and have grown to be a tad bigger and getting sticky! (02.18.09)

D. scorpioides (bad spelling...Ill fix in a minute)

D. [Lake Badgerup]

D. adelae flowers....its now completely outgrown its container...its got sprouts coming out the drainage holes.

(before it flowered)

which brings me to my question....when I repot the adelae what should I do with all of the babies its put out of the drainage holes and such? Can I clip them off and root them?

Thanks for looking and for help with my questions!

Yes

Go ahead, clip them & repot. The D. adelae flowers shouldn't have produced seed.

I've had babies coming out of my D. adelae little pot for so long they're nearly full-grown now... it's kind of cool.

Anway, nice plants. Seedlings are always cool.

Sounds good, when its done Ill see what i have to repot and root with and well see what happens! I dont believe there are seeds...the first half of the flowers are just closed I think.

Adelae are PROLIFIC baby makers! Got to love em!

 

[NaRnAr]

mmmhm, I so love my adelea! So far I think its my fav of the dews... lots of dew, pretty flowers that dont produce a ton of seed and it surprises me with baby plants on a regular basis (and it catches all of the gnats in the grow tank...always good)

It's funny, mine are spreading like mad and sending plantlets up everywhere, yet I can't seem to get one to flower.
