Medina, Those look great! Is that Byblis liniflora? Also, have you been successful in removing them from culture and hardening them off? Happy Growing, Brian.

Brian the sepecie is B. liniflora and I have the plants removed out of the flask and they were laid in a mix of peat moss and sand(1:2) but in a 3 days they died. I think that is due to damping off.
How do you grow this specie? is the peat moss and sand used to grow this plant?
I have micropropagated this specie by shoot tips cultured in 1/3 MS, in a few days they produced roots and flowers in vitro.

Hi Medina, I've prefer a standard mix of half peat/half sand and they seem to love it. Lately, I've been using milled blond Chilean sphagnum successfully as well. It works great for rooting cuttings of Byblis 'Goliath' Good luck with your efforts and please keep us posted on your results! I have heard that Byblis can be a little tricky to harden off... Happy Growing, Brian.
