Ping leaf pulling starting to produce plantlets. I was only expecting one plant but looks like a few are coming in. Can’t remember when I started this one but think it was only about 3 weeks ago, tops. Just pulled another leaf today.

My leaf pulling fried in the sun...I M guessing that is too much light.

That is where the second bog is...first one was taken over by the sarracenia so stickies go in #dos

Can pings not handle full sun or just not the clippings?

Yeah, my guess would be it just cooked in the sun. I’ve only seen them propagated indoors...usually in a zip lock bag or on sphag in a container to maintain humidity...as such, I’m guessing the closer to 100% rh, the better. Here’s a progress pic of my first pulling. 3 plantlets developing.

Update on sundew and butterwort leaf cuttings/pullings. Looking good, one sundew has really taken off!

Also, as DirtyCoconuts has posted the larges flower spike on the board, I figure I’d post the smallest. This looks to be some type of moss flower in the sundew pot.

For a forum dedicated to flowers it’s a shame the site can’t upload photos with more clarity. 😢

Those moss flowers are awesome. I noticed spikes in the moss mask thought no way?! And then I saw one with the flower. I could not get a pic. Too small and my phone was being a priss. Nice work!

Just potted up the butterwort plantlets from the leaf pullings. Hopefully they’ll take off.

How fun! After watching you and Coconut growing them, I finally decided to try again. Sort of. My daughter hates fruit flies, and I'm gifting her little carnivorous plants with a light set up for Christmas. I potted them up, and if I can keep them alive for the next month will probably try a couple of my own. :biggrin:

I'd been doing several things wrong in past (using potting soil with fertilizer, using tap water, etc.) Surely if I grow orchids, I can get this rolling now.

Awesome! Yeah, you’ll get them growing just fine. I can send you some sundew seeds if you like...just harvested a bunch. Haven’t tried germinating them yet but the parent species readily self pollinate and produce viable seed.

Need to repot the large sundews but the butterwort are all looking pretty good.

Excellent Dorchid! I still have seen no growth from my seeds, but still hopeful!
