What do you think about possibility of transferring smallest Nep seedlings (1-3 pitchers), previously grown in non-sterile vermiculite, to TC flacks? Chances of surface sterilization to kill the seedlings? The reason: - Seedling show very little progress despite Miracide and Superthrive, also pots are dying too fast - I lost all plants in one pot due to negligence, dried to the death. - Also, have very bad experience with organic media (LF Sphag) and Nep seeds, would like to use something less vulnerable to the mold and algae.
Anything else to try? Considered hydroponic in perlite - but seems it would float and not hold plants enough.

I think you'll loose them forsure in the sterilization process. just so small and delicate, and if they made it, I would be willing to bet that they would die on the medium as it's surely going to grow a mould or worse culture. Neps are the hardest of all CPs to sterilize. Sorry that I have nothing helpful to say. Sib

Now nep seed on the other hand you would be better off starting with. Stephen
