Plant propagation of pinguicula and drosera

(Deutsche Version) Here is an image of my five pinguiculas:
In the upper left corner, there is the mother plant, in the upper right corner another half of this plant (it split up some time ago). The three large plants were grown by me via leaf cuttlings. The basic principle is simple: Tear out a leaf near the root and put in on humid earth (and wait).

Two important things are rarely mentioned:
a) The plant needs humid air. I therefore covered the whole plant with a plastic bag.
b) Light. Since I started to use a energy-saving lamp (6400 K, 5 W), the plants grow much faster.

In the other pots there is drosera. The propagation of drosera is similar to the propagation of pinguicula.
