One year in flask, my Darlingtonia is ready to deflask.

Really nice plant, wonder if it would be the ideal form to grow them, since the grow rooms have the low temps and bright light needed.

That's really cool. Good luck on the acclimation!

Wow, I am doing it all wrong. My seedlings are a year old and still look the same as they did at 2 months (grown under a grow light, on soil).

Thanks all for watching and comments. Growing Darlingtonia in vitro is much faster than ex-vitro. I start from very small and young seedlings so it's much bigger.

This just makes me sad, as mine are all a month or so old, and they're incredibly tiny. I'm now wishing I knew about tissue culture. Just...not wishing it enough to try it yet. Lol!

They look awesome!! I can't wait till mine look like that!!!

My seedlings are 6 months old, well, the heat has not damaged many, now they're 1cm, not in TC of course as I wanted to try and see if they could handle my climate.

I worried about mine with the heat here, but they've done great outside! I have to say they seem to be sturdier than I expected.

This is true. Honestly I have better luck in-vitro than I do in-vivo, lol. Very nice looking culture!
