Today I found out that one of my Utricularia calycifida stolons had broken off. I'm not sure whether I broke it off or if it was broken already, but I was wondering whether it would be possible to propagate a new plant from it. It's about two inches long.
Would it be possible to grow new plantlets from the leaf, or are stems needed as well? And if it's possible, does anyone know how I would do it? Would I bury it or something?

I would assume it can sprout from the leaf, just laying it on the soil...I know U. longifolia will do that on occasion, and it's a close relative.

Thanks! I stuck the base back in the soil but I'll do what you said. It's in a covered container so I'm not worried about it getting too dry. I didn't even know longifolia could do that.

I take leaf cuttings from my U.Calycifida, I pull a leaf off then put it on pure dried spag as a slurry and in bright conditions with 80-90% humidity then they will come from the leafs outer tip not the base.

It is nice how so many CPs can be propagated from taking pieces from an adult plant. Roots, leaves, I have even heard of flower stalks being used for some plants.
