Thanks for the comments
@Cosmo: D. hartmeyerorum is one of species that dont take long trips in mail very well. I fear Mexico is too distant. And yes, I do work in a lab as a researcher. Not in the plant business though.
@Pato: for most drosera 20-30%MS with full macro and full vitamins works very well. If you use other gelling agent than agar, like gelrite for example, add 5% more (it picks up and cross-links the Me+, Me2+ cations with -OH ending groups ,  and thus lowers their concentration a bit).

Thanks Dudo!
This would have to be going well for seeds?
1/3 MS w/vitamins
PPM 1ml
Sucrose 30g
Agar 6g
PH 5.5

And the formation of calluses using this same solution or should we change something?

@Pato:
Sounds about right.
Personally, I dont use PPM at all. But it is advisory to use it for beginners to thwart the contamination possibility. And also, I use pH ~5.7. At and lower than 5.5 is more suitable for dionaea than drosera. Good luck with your TCing!:-)
