Drosera Leaf Cuttings

I've been propagating D. capensis via untreated leaf cuttings floating in
distilled water. The leaves, after showing a little brownness around the
tips have since sprouted one plantlet each. In the past, I have done the
same with D. binata multifida, but when I lifted the cutting from the
water, the sprout all but disintegrated into a limp mess. Does anyone
have suggestions for potting these tiny, soft sprouts? Are there other
species of Drosera that lend themselves to this inexpensive and effortless
method?
