Leaf Cuttings


Question
Hey Guys, Jason here from AZ. I have a burmanii Burmese Sundew
I got from you. My question is can I do leaf cuttings to get more plants? Also, if I don't let the plant flower will it live for more than two years?

Thanks,
Jason

Answer
We haven't attempted leaf cuttings on this sundew, so I can't give you a definitive answer.  The most reliable method of propagation is through seeds.  The plant will readily accept its own pollen.  Under good growing conditions, the plant will live 2-3 years, even after flowering.  In cultivation, we regard it as an annual mostly because some growers can't keep it warm and bright enough to keep this plant happy.

Good growing!
