Drosera burmannii Reproduction: Seed Only, Self-Pollinating

Annual Sundew Doesn't Do Leaf/Root Cuttings

A grower asked if D. burmannii can be propagated vegetatively or produces plantlets, noting sequential flowering.

Self-Pollinating Annual—Seed Is the Only Way

D. burmannii (and D. indica) are annuals reproducing only by seed. Flowers open one per day on a raceme; most self-pollinate. You can boost seed set by brushing floral parts. Leaf/root cuttings fail; roots are too tiny. Collect seed by tapping dried stalks over white paper; sow immediately.
