The new small plant is budding from the old leaf (exactly from the trap).
The old leaf was in contact with the wet soil, when a small bud is slowly
appeared.
Now it is growing slowly but well.
This thing it is happening for six time and now, from only three adult VFTs,
I have six very small plants.
As I don't know how to grow the buds I try, in a experimental way, to leave
three of them and plant it elsewhere (but always in a very wet soil), and
the other three to let them there.
For the moment all the six small plants grow well.
If I found the way to encourage this process, it will be easy to reproduce
the VFTs.
For this reason, now I try this with the leaf cutting but for the moment
(about one week), there are not results.
Are there any one who know if it is possible to grow a sarracenia with the
leaf cutting?
