Sundews make insects stick to them to digest insects.So if u hang sundews it got the higher chance for mosquitoes to stick to it.Still,mosquitoes will not attract to sundews by themselves.

erm i heard of a plant that is supposed to make mosquitoes go away but i can;t remember the plant name. it was very popular in the 90's.

it was sold at FRIM before. try to ask the nursery. it looks like a small tree.

akagidemon, most of mosquitoes plant that sell in nursery is around 1 ~ 2 ft tall.
My friend that did a experience with the plant. He carying the plant and pass by a belalang. At last, he got few bite as well!!!!

btw, talking back about propagating adelae.

Do i need to cut only fresh leaf & lying it on top of the substrate, or those almost dead leaf also can be use?

1 more thing, about root cutting, do i need to tear out the whole root, or i can cut half of the root?

it better use a fresh but not new leaf ....

roof cutting on nep?

Thx for d site bro...Really appreciate it.

It is better using those fresh old “dewing“leaves. And not almost dead leaf.

As I remember. The writer said pull out root from mother plant and cut it off. And “tanam” the root with sphagnum moss or peat moss. I never try it yet. Please share the result with us.

BTW...can i use coco-fibre as substrate for CP?

coco-fibre can use for nepenthes and not others CP. For others CP like sarra, drosera, VFT, normally, I use mixture of sphagnum moss, peat moss, perlite, sand. I didn’t count the portion. And sometime, I just use sphagnum moss + perlite or sand.

Ok...thx.So u just those things 2gether as substrate?Or u will layer them?

I mixed them up as substrate. For seeds, normally I just use peat moss + sand/perlite. A expert told me that sand + peat moss is good for sarra.

Oh.. does it matter which side of the leaf is lying on the substrate?

anyway, usually it took how long for it to cling on the substrate & grows?

Please make sure the top of leaf is facing top...

Take how long ar???? emmm... I didnt count it ler... Normally, I just left it there and as long as the leaf didnt turn black, you suppose will get some plantlet from it. Make sure the media is always wet till you can feel water on the media.

Oh crap.. i place it upside down edi, later go back home change again.. not sure do the leaf will still work or not.

since most of the discussions are on sundews, let me give you something else



the king himself, if you know what i mean
