Propagating Drosera Binata Varieties via Root Cuttings

Both D. binata dichotoma (giant staghorn) and D. binata multifida strike readily from root cuttings. Cut thick root sections into 1½-inch pieces, place on wet peat moss in clear containers, spray with fungicide, cover transparently, and place under fluorescent lights. Plantlets form in 3-4 weeks; transplant at 2 inches tall after gradual hardening off.
