Hi all,
Last year, Steve was kind enough to send out seeds. I did a number of different conditions for growing VFTs from seed. While I did not do in vitro stuff, I found that a sealed sterile environment under a grow light was the best result. You can leave it unattended for half a year until you get up to 20 leaves per plant, then take it out of the container and continue growing them like regular VFTs. The 6 months of protection from mold, fungus and algae allows them to grow at the fastest rate possible without extra nutrients.
