Amazing.

 

[DennisZ]

The Roridula is fairly difficult to handle with tools, it's incredibly sticky!

 

[WillyCKH]

Wow, very nice work, Dennis! What media do you use for Roridula gorgonias? It looks amazing.

 

[DennisZ]

Thanks Willy! I used 1/2 M/S in the first culture and sundew pre-transplant media (phytatech labs) in the second culture. Both had similar results.

 

[DennisZ]

Nepenthes glabrata, one of the 6 cultures I’ve got going!

 

[DennisZ]

Some beginnings for Heliamphora minor.....

 

[Avery]

Awesome! Just curious if you’re introducing these as seeds or? I know there are some cultures available online of Neps/Heli’s. Really cool regardless.

Have you tried hardening off any Nepenthes yet? Do you mean six glabrata cultures?? Haha- I’m intrigued...

 

[DennisZ]

@Avery I believe they are seed grown; I joined willy in importing them in from labflytrap. I‘ve tried many nepenthes seeds in the past without any success; hoping one day I’ll be lucky. My traditionally-grown nepenthes are slow; these guys have doubled in size while my seedlings got maybe a a few new leaves at best!

I haven’t personally hardened any nepenthes out of TC but from what @Will20013 told me, his nepenthes were incredibly vigorous out of TC from the get go.

 

[Avery]

Ok! Very cool. Well if you ever harden off those glabrata or H. minor keep me in mind!! Haha

 

[DennisZ]

@Avery Of course, haha.

 

[DennisZ]

Crazy roots that look super cool!

 

[DennisZ]

This culture was very weird. Initially I made it at home, with a DIY formula I created and the plant was one big callus culture. Overtime, the plant started to grow some normal structures so I decided to bring it into the lab with some proper lighting..... Since then it has exploded in growth.
