Hello, I have a question about VFT plantlets. I had a beautiful VFT that
did noy do very well in our move about 2 months ago. My other
plants, N. mirabilis (sp?), some pings, and several drosera all
survived the move and are doing well. The VFT slowly died back but
when there was one remaining leaf, plantlets started to grow from
all along that leaf. There are currently 20-25 plantlets growing on
this still green leaf. Some of them are now large enough for me to identify
minute traps. My question is this: When and how shold I separate
these plantlets from the leaf they are growing on? Thanks for any
info.
