Drosera binata multifida Producing Only Simple Forks

Your D. binata var. multifida is healthy but only making simple (two-fork) leaves, though it has a few old four-fork leaves. You want the dramatic multi-forked forms.

This is normal for young or recently divided plants. Fork number increases with plant maturity and leaf size. Clones from root cuttings are genetically identical—yours will develop 8, 16, even 32 forks per leaf as it ages and grows larger.

Send a photo for specific assessment. Ensure: bright light, pure water, no fertilizer needed. The multifida trait is genetic and will express fully with time and good culture.
