Last night, I sterilized some 50/50 peat/sand mix by microwaving it wet for 15 minutes. After it cooled, I filled a 72-cell plug tray (1.5" square cells) with this sterilised mix.
I prepared 9 plugs each of:
U. tricolor
U. praelonga
U. bisquamata
U. livida
U. longifolia
U. sandersonii
U. lateriflora
G. violacea (giant)
Each plug was started with just one lolon of the Utric in question (or one Genlisea leaf).
These Utrics had become fairly overgrown with moss, so I carefully cleaned each lolon to remove all the original soil medium before transplanting.
If these take, and spread, then in a few months I should have a bumper crop of starter plugs of these Utrics, fully free of moss and other hitchhikers, available to give.
