Very cool! Are these from seed? I've been curious about how to do it with Drosera seeds, considering they are so tiny.

If from live tissue, what are you using to sterilize them?

First of all I take the seeds and put them within a paper filter and than sterile them with 30% bleach for 10 minutes, than I put them in an autoclaved for 15 minutes 1/3 Murashige & Skoog medium (MS) . After more and less 40 days they start to germinate.
I´ve already used leaves, floral stacks and even roots as explants for obtainning plants by tissue culture propagation and depending on the species I had success, some are very easy (D. spatulata and D. nidiformis, for instance), some are not...I tried floral stacks with D burmannii and it did not worked out.

I have to correct my last post cuz flower stalks of D. burmannii ended to workout but not all stalks.
