Drosera Multifida Extrema Root Cuttings: Water vs Soil, Light, and Temperature

Drosera Multifida Extrema Root Cuttings: Water vs Soil, Light, and Temperature

Weylin asks if D. multifida 'Extrema' roots germinate in distilled water alone, under CFL, and how to speed it up.

Soil Beats Water; Heat Speeds It

• Roots can strike in water, but soil gives faster, better results.
• Bright light required (CFLs fine).
• Warmth (~80°F) accelerates bud formation.
• Spray soil with fungicide.

Key Takeaway

Root D. multifida cuttings on soil, not water. Keep at ~80°F under bright light with fungicide for fastest plantlet formation.
