    GA3 or Smoke Discs?

    Some years back I saw a short article in the Carnivorous Plant Newsletter where a grower was describing how they had taken some of the plantlets that are often formed on the old flower stalks of Drosophyllum lusitanicum and rooted them into new plants. However, it seems no one I have heard from...

I've read the "best" concentrations to shoot for are 500-1000ppm. Is this true? I'm going to try and use it on very old D. omissa...
