They will grow fine! Roots are not needed until extracting from the cultures. Plants without roots can still be hardened off but they will take longer to acclimate.

You should give webinars on technique.
What's the disinfectant?
trying PPM this round.
Nepenthes seeds
If you're disinfecting with PPM, are you adding PPM to the medium?
Yes, PPM in the jelly too.
Just for fun (and to validate the effectiveness of the pre-made sterilization solution), I tried some of the Drosera capensis x aliciae seeds from @Lloyd Gordon and it worked! Lloyd has given me the seeds long long time ago, and I have tried some on peat but nothing sprouted. I'm surprised that the seeds are still viable and worked!

Drosera venusta, seeds from @stevebradford, sterilized and planted on April 6th

I thought those were supposed to be sterile!
I thought so too! Trust me I tried them a few times on peat and only have a few left so I thought I would give them a last try in TC. Did you have any germination with yours?
I gave them all away.
I bought the original culture from LFT, I believe it was started from seeds.
