Which is easier for this plant (want to mass produce it)seed, leaf, or root cuttings?:help: Does it create underground shoots easily/ at all? I keep snipping the flower stalks off. I won't (obviously) if seed turns out to be the easiest form of propagation.
I only have one plant, and have very little experience with it (five months), however, it appears to do very well, considering its crimson hue.
I only have experience mass producing d. capensis (all forms), d. scorpioides (three surviving plants) and d. occidentalis x pulchella. Both pygmies were from gemmae production.
Thanks in advance!
 
This plant is seriously a weed. Almost as bad as D. capensis. Seed is very fast, leaf cuttings take as easily, and root cuttings work well, too.
I'd let them flower. They're a nice purple color. Once you get them going and have extra seeds, be sure to spread them around!

I can attest to the weed trait of this plant! I have to trade 10 of em every few weeks because they are everywhere!!! (Squelch).... last transmission... next weeks paper reads! Drosera nidiformis a Killer! S_Oregon man was found eaten by several hundred small CP found to have grown on his perspirated shirt... sad story
 
It is a weed indeed :) At least from my observation....recently I put some root cuttings on the peat and in 2 weeks I had 2 new plants on each of them. Now I am growing a D. nidiformis forest:) Still.... a very beautiful plant.:)
