I thought this year I'd share my experiences with vft flower stalk cuttings.
Here are pics of my current setup and progress. Most of my flower stalks were from Maroon Monster and B-52 flytraps and it's pretty easy to tell them apart.
They're planted in 1 peat : 1 fine perlite and are sitting in ~1 inch of distilled water under a bank of 8 led tubes. I measured the light level and with my 16 hour day it's coming in at 15 DLI, which should be plenty bright to satisfy even the maroon monster cuttings.
All of the cuttings were 1-2" and planted vertically about 1/4" deep into the media. I've had good success with this approach in the past and it's very space efficient.
Sadly, I've already noticed some fungus on the maroon monster cuttings and may need to cull them and spray with a fungicide to prevent further infection. The tray of B-52's seem ok for now.
