Darren has a baseball-sized D. spatulata clump with many plantlets and wants a "mini forest." Also plans cape sundew (D. capensis) leaf cuttings.
Tease plantlets apart gently—the tissue-culture mass can be tightly entwined. They'll grow larger as individuals with room.
Standard: Use fungicide (Consan 20 or Physan 20—quaternary ammonium compounds). Sterilize media first. Follow dilution precisely; too strong kills cuttings.
"Lazy Person" Water Method: Place fresh cuttings (newer leaves work best) in clear covered containers of distilled water under fluorescent lights. Sprouts in ~3 weeks. Distilled water is sterile, so mold rarely occurs.
Good Growing!
