    Very nice! It looks like an asparagus. :-)

    Wow -- that's surprising, and pleasantly so. I have a Sans pinguicula that I bought a year or two ago from Arid Lands in Arizona. It is a typical "walking" pinguicula that has grown new pups from the original one plant that was shipped to me. The first pup grew close to the parent, so it's comfortable in the same pot/soil. Then a few months ago, the plant grew a "walking" stalk, at the end of which was another pup. It started sending out a root, but the root and pup were beyond the scope of the original pot. So I put a grower pot under it with some soil and am letting it root into that pot and soil. Will cut it to be independent in another few weeks.


    But I had NO idea that Sans pinguicula would propagate from a single leaf. Never even thought about it. Good to know. Please post back when your new plant grows and is recognizable. I will be interested to see what it look like as it matures.

    It is so cute, and a reward for your patience 😊

    Congratulations! Take care of it, pinguicula is very slow to grow from leaf cuttings. I took apart a flowered rosette and the leaves spent over a year doing nothing.


    Here are some of the pups today:

    When I started the experiment ten months ago, I knew that it would not be easy with this species. All the more I look forward to sharing my success with you here.

    Thank you for all interesting comments and stories. I like to share the growth of the plant in the future.

    They look so innocent when they're young, then they grow up to draw blood. :)

    Nice looking propagations.

    So beautiful & so different looking from its parent. I was surprised to see the underside of the Pinguicula leaf has ridges. Those pups are the cutest; thanks for sharing w/ us.

    all my leaves i have planted start to shrink and rot away. i have put them on a heatmat, almost dry soil, growlight, there is nothing else i can do, as soon as i put them in soil they verry rapidly start to rot, just in a matter of days . How long do you let the leaves dry out?

    Hopefully you got good leaf stock to start out with. Clean cut and let dry for no longer then a week. No heat due to drying out the leaf. I do best in summer months and putting the cut away in a glass with about one inch of perlite and forgetting about it. Maybe once in a long while a little spray of water now and then. Kept in shade not bright light. Seems if I care about it too much they rot, forget about it and they live.

    Woodnative gave out several leaf cuttings rooted and with sprouts several years ago of S. Lavranos '23251' a very similar plant that grew slowly but large.

    My Pinguicula is extremely slow.
