Thanks for looking and for help with my questions!

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!
 
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.

But wouldn't condoms cut the Adelae off from light?
