Question

Allexperts,

You said that the Drosera Multi fida will comeback from the roots.  I have 2 crowns growing in  one pot and I cut the roots from the plant that had less of a chance of coming back.   The other one had one or 2 more viable roots ( basicly looked more alive than the other one) .  I think it had, a much better shot at coming back.   What should i be looking for in terms of the plant making a comeback.   As of now there not much showing that the plant is still alive.  Let me know if there is anything else you may need.  


Sincerely,


Weylin

Answer
Hi Weylin,

New growth will take the form of little green buds that will eventually start to unfurl little leaves.  It will be the same from these older crowns, or the root cuttings you took.  You just need to give them time now.

Good Growing!

PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR QUESTION:
We no longer answer how-to questions (i.e. How do I propagate...?; How do I grow...?).

Instead, we help growers by diagnosing a specific plant problem and offering solutions (i.e. Why is my sundew not producing dew?; Is now a good time to divide my Sarracenia?; Why are the traps turning black?; What's a good substitute for perlite?; Why didn't my seeds germinate?; Can you identify this carnivorous plant for me?)
