Subject: Want to become a parent

I have a few CPs that I have had good luck with over the past couple of
years despite the whole paragraph my houseplant book devotes to the care of
VFTs ending with:

        "...don't be surprised if they shrivel up and die
        after a few months. Venus Fly Traps don't fare well
        in captivity..."

My Sundews propagate just fine by themselves. I've already split the parent
plant a dozen or so times in the past couple of years for repotting
projects. My VFT and Purple Pitcher are another story. They grow like crazy
but I have no clue how to create new plants from them. My VFT just sent up a
flower stalk and I wonder if I can use this for propagation. Any suggestions?
