Propagate Drosera using water method

Some drosera sp. can propagate using leaf cutting. Beside laying them flat on top of media, some of them also can propagate using water method. On January 2009, I try it with D. paradoxa, D. intermedia 'cuba', D. spatulatha and D. binata var extreme leaf. The container will put in shaded place and will do water change if it is diry.

After 2~3 weeks, Drosera that produce plantlet is,

D. intermedia 'cuba' --> all leaf produce plantlet, each leaf have 1 ~ 3 plantlet

D. binata --> 1 out of 2 leaf produce plantlet, each leaf have 4 plantlet

D. paradoxa --> I have 2 leaf in water and 1 produce plantlet

D. spatulatha --> no plantlet produce

D. intermedia 'cuba' plantlet

D. paradoxa plantlet
