Yeah, so basically I was wondering if you can take like leaf cuttings of annual sundews, I know that burmannii cuttings don't work, but possibly others? I'm thinking of D. Indica in particular. Thanks
D. capensis is a perennial but yes, you can take leaf cuttings. It's best done early in the growing season. Snip the leaf off near the petiole and place it flat on the medium, tentacle side up. Use a pinch of peat or butterfly mounting pins laid across the ends of the leaf to hold it down. Leave as much of the tentacles uncovered as possible. Use a leaf that hasn't any bits of insect on it if possible to reduce chance of fungus growth. Give it plenty of light and humidity.
