does it go after carnivorous plants? that would be interesting
its in long beach! woot....i may go over there within a few weeks and get me some lolzugh this stuff is all over CA. I've seen it in Yosemite. A couple other places that i've stopped. For those of you who are in So Cal/familiar with it, the Bolsa Chica area and Long Beach wetland areas have a ton of it...so yeah jesse go to some vulnerable ecosystem out here and you'll find this thing haha.
I don't think cutting work but go ahead an try, I'm sure no one will care if you help remove some of this invasive plant.
P.S. I hope you caught on to the fact that this is a parasite and will need a host plant to provide it with nutrients.
