Hey, NO FAIR! :evil: Those little Flytraps are growing way faster and bigger than those that grow outside of sterile little bottles. :(

I know, right? I can't believe how fast they grow in those jars. I'll continue to grow some seeds ex vitro, but any seed that's special will be done in vitro so I can get adult plants quicker. It's also safer for them. The chance of them getting sick in vitro is minimal.

If they grow in jars, do they get any air and oxygen?

These pics are a strong argument for getting set up for TC.

Then again the thrill of watching my seeds germinate the "old fashioned" way is also pretty exciting for me. I can't wait to get more seeds!

There is minimal air exchange in the jars, but yes, they get a little bit.

Go for it! I agree that the "old fashioned" way of germinating seeds is still fun, but it's really cool to grow them in vitro. It just speeds up the process so much that for impatient people like myself, it makes it much more fun.

Matt- maybe one day in a few years when I have space.... It's definitely on my mind, but I KNOW I won't be able to get a set up until we own a house (as we've already agreed- these are the best landlords EVER, so no point in moving until we can buy).

But ya, just seeing how fast those little puppies have grown, in comparison to the few little seedlings I've got going right now..... :D TC is on my mind.....
