What happens to a leaf pulling of Pinguicula in TC over one month?
I was hoping to make a timelapse video but the file got corrupted... Need better luck next time!

What was your decontamination routine?

 

[WillyCKH]

What was your decontamination routine?

The leaf was from another tissue culture so it was clean already.

So cool Willy what you do!

Wish you were close so we could have fun doing TC on many CP species!

My lab is almost ready, waiting for the flow hood bench then the sky is the limit

 

[WillyCKH]

Some cultures died or are infected since I don't have much energy to keep up with all the TC tasks...

This remaining Heliamphora minor culture is still going strong though. I've replated it yesterday.

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

Some of mine get infected too, combination of bad luck and poor technique.

 

[Camden M.]

Wow, mature pitchers in culture. Impressive!

 

[WillyCKH]

Almost done with replating all the TCs, just in time to leave for the hospital stay (est. 1-1.5 months).
Seeing them happy makes me happy too.

Nepenthes jacquelineae

Some Pings...

Utricularia fulva

SG Nepenthes babies

Drosera (ordensis x falconeri) x broomensis

Flytraps

Sundews

 

[Shoggoths]

Nice to see that your attempts with pings and fulva are successfull.
I hope your stay in the hospital will not be too long.
Let me know if an Uber Eat can bring you a good food there when you'll feel better

Wishing you, Willy, all the best luck !

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

All your green bud-dies will be root-ing for you. I dew hope you'll be home soon, better than ever!

 

[Les serres de Paolo Inc.]

@WillyCKH you‘re such an inspiration! Good job and wish you well

 

[WillyCKH]

A lot of my cultures died because I didn't have energy to care for them.
Nepenthes has the lowest death rates so I'm glad that I still have a good number of them.

Sad about the others but glad about the neps. You will soon have lots of new TC plants maybe even Heli's?

 

[WillyCKH]

Once I finish replating and organizing the surviving cultures, I'll start experimenting with some seeds. It's a lot of fun!

So glad that you're feeling well, Willy...

Have fun Willy, TC is soooo addictive lollll

Take care

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

One day, I'll get my magic TC media out again and do some weird growing stuff.
