Propagating Sundews


Question
Hi,
I'm propagating some tropical sundews from leaf cuttings.  Could you tell me, what watering method I should use in the first several weeks of propagation.  Should I use the watering tray method or is it even necessary?  
Thanks for your help.
JJ

Answer
Hi JJ,

You can either use the tray method, or a full enclosure that won't require much water.  Just keep the soil moist; it won't matter too much how you do it.  Just be sure to spray them with a fungicide, and make sure your containers are very clean.  It helps to rinse the pots and covers in a mild bleach solution.

Good Growing!
