    Easy to grow, easy to propagate

    Posted by Unknown on November 20, 2014

    My Aphrodite arrived in fine shape, with a second smaller plant growing directly beside the larger main plant. I gently removed a few leaves that were ready to go, and was rewarded with new growth on the leaf cuttings in a few weeks - nice! The Aphrodite arrived with a nice purplish tint to its leaves, but although it seems to be growing well the newer leaves are much greener. I have to assume the short days this time of the year in Indiana are close to its minimum light needs, even if it is in a nicely exposed south window. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to try out butterworts - SNW's care guide DVD even says this one can grow continuously without dormancy quite well, if that's what you're into.

    Shortly after receiving it, it seemed to go into a short sleep. Smaller leaves, but still catching prey. About a week ago it began growing larger leaves again and has started catching insects left and right.

    The plant was slightly worn from shipping, to be expected but bounced back more than quickly and is happily blooming with its gorgeous purple flower!
