Ok, so my first successful explant was a Cupped Trap leaf. Here's a photo of what I started with back in March: Here's the original thread I started when I though it was making callus: www.flytrapcare.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=763Well, I'm absolutely stunned what I was able to turn that one leaf into over the last 6 months. Check it out: That's only about half of the jars I have right now and I've also sent some to friends. I also deflasked quite a few back in September. Some of them I've sent to friends or FlytrapCare Store customers. Recently I deflasked a bunch more. In all, what you see here is less than 1/3 of all of the Cupped Trap plants grown from that one leaf. It was a very long day of potting to say the least, but tissue culture definitely works!

Your growing setup is wonderfully clean. I am just beginning to grow cp's and wondered where I can purchase the racking system? What lights do you use so far I have only a small terarium with 4 cp's and would like to setup an efficent system at low to moderate cost. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appriciated.

The racks you can get at lowes or home deopt, they range from about 40$ to 120$. I use a 4ft T8 shop light with two bulbs, plus a west window that does not get much sunlight in the winter, that I also got a lowes for my Nepenthes and get very good results, my Ventricosa just went into flower .
