Great plants, DJ! I've yanked a few leaves off of mine earlier this summer and now I have a bunch of lil' ones pitchering madly away in a tray of sphagnum. So easy to propagate this species!
Thanks guys, my first full growing season for these and propagating from leaves, and I am proud of my babies.
A big thank you to Jerry for giving me the opportunity to try my hand at these amazing plants and to all who advised me on how to grow them successfully.
Yeah, definitely worth the wait! I had success in a tray of moss and in a pot of peat/sand. This leaf pulling stuff is addicting, LOL.
Haha. Glad you like it. It is recycled crushed glass called TriVitro used for sandblasting, much cheaper than pool or other silica sand and I can get it locally. A little distracting as a top dressing, but I figure once the plants grow it will not be so much.
Yeah, fun and very addicting. Should come with some kind of warning, haha.
I didn't know what I was doing, but Jerry made it look so easy and willing to share his "secrets" that I had to try.
They are grown inside. The big ones are on a window sill and the babies are under a shop light, I just took them outside to get better pics. I tried to grow the Hummer outside once and almost murdered it by doing so.

Cool pics & plants but I noticed that your sand is much more clear & sparkly than mine (what's up with that?? Very jealous!)

Bluemax: "Those look great, DJ! Mass is right - you do come across as a newbie when you are very accomplished. 'Guess that's what humility looks like, huh?"
Thank you Mark.
Overconfidence gets me in trouble every time, hate murdering stuff, and can never have too much information,
