This VFT is too small for flowering.

Yes. Cut it carefully at the base. And plant it vertically in a container with peat then cover it with saran wrap, it'll produce another few plants in a month

Hopefully someone that does invirto propagation can chime in here... I am not sure that you should do anything because it may risk contamination of your culture?

You can't go! All the plants are gonna die!

I'm not sure either the risk.
I don't want to open this bottle cuz this is my best culture.

Do you mean I can propagate VFT from this stem cutting ?
I'm afraid that I am not good at English so that I'm not sure what you talking about.

That happens from time to time with seedlings in vitro. Nothing to do really but let it grow!

You can continue to let the flower stalk grow until time to transfer the culture. A flower stalk, even in TC, can produce vegetative buds (practically invisible) just underneath the flower bud next to the bracts. These vegetative buds can be used to generate new plants.

I'll replate these VFTs in a few days, so I will try to get vegetative bud .
