Subject: new member/leaf cuttings

     Hi all,
     
     I'm a new member to the list and as requested here is a brief
     introduction.
     
     I began growing CP's about 15 years ago as a teenager, Drosera,
     Dionea, Sarracenia, Cephalotus and Nepenthes. I live in Canberra,
     Australia. A few years ago I was away from home for several years and
     I lost most of my extensive collection. Since returning to Canberra a
     year ago I have begun to reestablish the collection mostly from seed
     and a sole surviving venus fly trap (a couple of nepenthes also
     survived in a closed terrarium).
     
     A question:
     I have recently seen a few vague references to propagation of
     Sarracenia by leaf or rhizome cuttings. I would be pleased to receive
     any feedback on such approaches to propagating Sarracenias. I have
     previously successfully used leaf or root cuttings for sundews, vft
     and Cephalotus.
     
     Ross Rowe
