Propagating Pinguicula 'Sethos'

My wife has sold some on eBay and I trade them, and yes, I did give away several dozen a while back.
This batch is planted in 1/3 pumice, 1/3 coarse silica sand, and 1/3 granulated peat moss. I find this cultivar is not very particular about growing media. I've grown it in many combinations, even without media sitting in shallow water in a plastic saucer.
The lights are within 2 inches of the plants. The dark upper portion of the photo, where the caption is, is the shop light fixture.

ALLOSAURZ > Several years ago I started with one I received by trade. I kept it in a ziploc bag with a little LFS in the bottom (no pot), clothes-pinned to a fluorescent fixture for about 18 months. When it was blooming I opened the top of the bag so the flower could open freely. Then as I potted this lone plant I removed most of its older leaves, about 15. I kept those in a ziploc bag with a little slightly moist LFS. After small plantlets had formed, I removed them, planted them together in a community pot and then returned the leaves to the ziploc to form more plants. This was my first practice at propapgating Pinguicula 'Sethos'.

These trays of individually potted plants were transplanted from this community tray about 4 weeks ago:

I generally get almost zero "winter leaves" under my growing conditions, so waiting for them before I propagate, would, essentially, leave me nothing to propagate.
I find that leaves from small to medium size plantlets are, at least, "just as good". This way, the more I propagate, the more I have to propagate more with.
