Hi all again,

Question: I have a few Drosera peltata's of which I was told one was
of a multi-stemmed variety. So far, all have only sent up a single
stem per rosette, though I have a few rosettes per pot, through self
bulb propagation.
Does it take the plants a period of "maturation" before they start
producing multiple stems or is it a trait that is inherent from first
stem producing tendencies...?
    and...
does anyone out there grow their bulbous droseras (like D. peltata,
D. gigantea, D. whittakerii, D. andersonii and D. macrophylla) in
full sun?
I have been gradually introducing my plants to more direct sunlight
each growth season, and so far I have taken quite a step forward in
increasing their direct sun exposure. (simply more exposure per day,
not a straight jump from shaded to direct).

Anything I should be aware of or should be noting?

All the best,
  Erik
