I have not been successful with these in any way shape or form. To propagate them you have to be able to grow one and I have not had one live past a couple months.

I am getting ready to set up a small pond that will have running water to help cool their roots. I think this will be successful, either way I will share the results here. I am writing this on 6/18/05 and should have something to share in the next couple of weeks.

Well, it's now 8/5 and I have killed three more. I can't keep the roots cool enough I guess. During the day the root temps were around 75 and at night around 65 and it's just not cool enough for them. I don't recommend these for the beginner, and even the experienced better know what they are getting into before giving one a try.

Well, everyone on the forum says just pour cold water on them a couple times a day. Also recommended to cover the soil with something reflective to bounce the heat off of the soil. Check out the forum for more info or to ask questions.

Here are some awesome pictures of the runners they put out though. Courtesy of Cardiffcarnivore from our Carnivorous Plant Forum. If you haven't already you should check it out. Click the thumbs for the full size pictures. They're awesome!
