Default Re: Nepenthes Tissue Culture

Amitz you should try to order a kit from here:
http://www.kitchenculturekit.com/index.htm

That is where I got my kit, but I haven't had time to try it out yet, and so I am also still researching. Best bet to try first are VFTs and Droseras, Nepenthes apparently is hard to TC from meristem so I am asking help here in the forum about it.

It is a bit complicated as Paphioboy mentioned, but if you are the type that likes a challenge or to experiment that TC is for you. By the way I feel that the generalization that TC can make one seed into a thousand plants is a bit of an exaggeration. Well it is possible, but sure heck will need a long long time to get to a million. However it is true that if you do keep at it, you can grow a lot of clones from one meristem.

Paphio, the current suggestion is 10% bleach, but people still say they still get contamination, oh well, we'll see.

TTFN
