Okay, okay... I know it'll take time, but it really is looking great, heck, even I'm excited about seeing it and I really don't need the genus....

The small B. lamellata is now having 3-4 'true' leaves, and the Drosophyllum are going crazy: they are mainly turning into callus and producing a lot of shots! i should replate them soon. Other than that, i didn't tried anything 'new', just waiting for most things to grow.

Update:
Tuberous Drosera: a failure apparently. I will have to try with a different species or just new conditions, as the plants failed to set tuber. I did see success thought with a similar media on the same species... and i have a scientific article using the same media too with a lot of success on Drosera peltata.
Drosophyllum: doing great, but i let the plant on their first media (the germination one) for too long, i should have replated them a long time ago on the multiplication medium. The result? A large callus formed in every test tube, making plants hard to remove from there. I splitted the callus in several parts and put them, with a growing point or not, in the multiplication medium, and put some others back into the first medium, since i still had some on my hand. I fear the allelopathic effect of Drosophyllum on each others since I planted mre than one plant per flask in some case but we will see how it turns out. For now, smaller replated callus parts died, but some are looking good.
Darlingtonia: multiplication is A1, rooting is still deceiving, I am testing a higher hormone concentration.
Heliamphora: looking good, but acclimatation was a failure for some reasons. Multiplication is still slow though, IMO.
Sarracenia: multiplying and rooting nicely, but all still pretty small since they were started from seeds
VFT: all my leaf explants were contaminated when I tried to put it in TC. Next time, I,ll try with flower stalks.
Byblis lamellata: 2 plants growing strongly, about 3 inches long. Should replate them in multiplication medium when I,ll have some spare time (not anywhere soon unfortunatly)

You're really putting a lot of work into TC and getting some very interesting results. I hope I haven't taken on too complicated a hobby! I ordered some PPM last night from the manufacturers website so maybe I won't have too much problem with contamination. The Heliamphora you gave me seems to be doing Ok but I am acclimatating it very slowly.

My acclimatation problem might result of the 'disease' i got last year and this summer. I strongly think I have some Pythium running around and can't get the proper way to get rid of it, so I must revised most of my cultivation habit. TCing isn't that difficult, I just deal with some difficult plants (and some not) .

Hi guys How are is TC and is it easy to find all the stuff needed? I am getting really interested in it. How can you create plants with TC. Seeds? Leaves? Any piece of a plant? Roots? Petals?
Take care
Xavier
