I did pretty much what is suggested in "the savage garden".
For g. violacea I pulled single leaves off the plant, and laid them on
top of live sphagnum. I didn't pay any attention to whether they
came off with any white on the base or not. This is in an unheated
terrarium in natural light, where the parent plant is doing ok, and I
did it in autumn. After a week or two some leaves had clearly died
off, the others started to grow small traps. Once I was sure the
cuttings had taken I potted them up into either live sphagnum or a
50:50 peat:sand mix, either worked ok. I gave these plants away a
month or two ago, I haven't heard how they're doing, I assume
they're fine.
