I've tried leaf cuttings of the following:
G.violacea and sp.violacea giant: very easy.
hispidula: also easy
filiformis: easy but really slow as this has been a slow grower for me!
aurea: thought it worked the second time but if it did, it disappeared!
richard, you didnt "borrow it", did you?! ;)
uncinata: currently waiting.
Genlisea will grow in only moist conditions but seem to prefer very wet
soil. However, for new species, I believe the best choice is to grow them
moist cause wet conditions can often result in rotting of many CP.
If anyone has any other Genlisea, email me if you want to swap for other CP.
I'd like to get my hands on some of the other African ones, especially.
Matt
