I took 3 D. falconeri leaf cuttings back on September 9th, and after a few weeks on the heating pad, they looked like they were getting cooked alive, so I removed them from the heating pad onto another shelf with the rest of my Drosera.
I gave it about a month on the shelf before giving up on them. Of course, I try to adhere to the motto of "never give up on a plant" whenever possible, so instead of throwing the cuttings out, I placed them on the floor "out of the way" with some of my plant supplies.
Today, I "found" these cuttings again. They are floating in RO water btw, that's the method I use. And to my suprise there was a nice green 1/4" diameter falconeri plant, and another 1/8" plantlet!
I can't repeat what I said that very moment on this forum
So please, anyone out there with cuttings... a place on the floor with little light is better than the trash can, even for Woolies!
No camera today, so I can't post the pic. Here's a photo of the parent plant though
