I can't find any roots on the tuber Drosera I have. At least
not on the D.peltata and a couple others. All I can see are
leaves and stems. And the pseudo tubers (which are really just
leaves or stem anyway.) Where are the roots? Are they supposed
to have any???
The "dropping" rhizome looks like it might be a good canidate
for use in asexual reproduction - Has anyone tried cutting some
up into sections and seen if they will grow? It should work:
just about *every* other Drosera can be reproduced using stem tissue...
