Dear CP/TC fans!:-)

I took shots of some new cultures in jars today. Besides the species, that I have already posted (and thankfully, are grown into big plants by now), I did some sowing on gel few months ago and would like to share with you the pics of seedlings and plantlets:

drosera villosa (propagates well without PGR)

2 rarer d. spatulata varieties:

d. spatulata var. gympiensis (the time needed to germinate this spatulata variety is the longest of all spatulatas. Usually other varieties germinate within 20 days. This one took almost 2 months)

d. spatulata var. bakoensis (a very nice pygmy-like sundew, replated)

d. tomentosa var. glabrata

d. regiadregia.jpg

d.kaieteurensisdkaieteurensis.jpg

d.trinerviadtrinervia.jpg

d.graminifolia (the difference in growth rate for TC and non-TC plants is striking, these are a month old/5cm)

d.camporupestris (great germination rate, a fast grower as well)

The gel you are using, can we buy this somewhere online?

Most onlines seem to be selling it by the 100kg or 1ton lot ! :(

this is the nearest to 'domestic' that I could find :

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Texturas-Gellan/dp/B002X85232

This would be more affordable

but out of stock, expected in 21days, keep an eye maybe !

Else search for food additive E418 = Gellan gum, aka Gelrite, Phytagel, Kelcogel etc.

Gellan gum, also branded by few suppliers as AppliedGel, Phytagel or Gelrite,

is used primarily as a gelling agent, alternative to agar
