Nice step to step instructions. I usually use my bare hands.

Hahahha, great mind think alike! I have the straight one too, apart from other countless 'tools' that I've grabbed around the house! :lol:

Aaron, if it is big plant, bare hand is not a problem. It will be a issue if it is tiny plantlet... :crying:

Athene, what others useful tools you are using. Please share with us. :smile:

I got my tweezer at RM1.50 (if not mistaken) :tongue:

that is a good idea to use tweezer. I have a plastic one too, so that it won get rusty, i dun even need to wash it.

Re: How I planting my CP... Using tweezer
 

I use stainless steel, won't rust... I think it might be surgical grade, hmm...

Re: How I planting my CP... Using tweezer
 

Me use a Stainless STEEL one!!! Muhaha, mine is a straight electronic hobbist tweezer. It even glint in the sun. Seriously, if you're using a metal tweezer, make sure they are cool to the touch when you use it to transplant you tiny plants.Our tropical sun heats metal pretty fast. The heat can easily burn those sensitive and tiny roots. I am speaking from experience. So I usually dip it in cold water first before using.

Off topic but still on tweezer. One can use the tweezer to feed tiny drosera, for example, so they can grow fast and healthy.

Re: How I planting my CP... Using tweezer
 

I use tweezers and a surgical scisors to trasplant all my CPs except mature Neps.

Besides that I have a tweezer that is attached to a magnifying glass that also has a small light. This is to help me when I transplant small baby Drosera plantlets. It is exceptionally useful when looking for and picking Byblis seeds that has been bleached before sowing them on the growing media. Kinda difficult to see after you bleach them as they are white in colour.

And like BA, I use my tweezers to feed my Droseras with insects, mostly small red ants.

I use it to feed my CPs as well... Bloodworm!!!!!


David, you have surgical scisors for CPs?! May I know what it is use for? For stem/leaf cutting?
