Hi

Just wondering if i gemiated sarracenia seeds until the seeds stated to sprout then transferred the seeds to a vitro method would the seeds benefit would there grow faster
Never did vitro before so don't really no any information on doing it this way or if it would work

Are you asking about germinating the seeds in-vivo and then transferring the seedlings into tissue culture vessels? If so, I'd recommend just germinating them in-vitro to begin with, because it's gonna be difficult to sterilize such tiny plants, without killing them. Seeds can usually take sterilization much better than explants.

if you mean germinating seeds in vitro, then explanting them, i wouldnt really recommend that, in my experience, germination times are the same regardless

if you mean the opposite... go for it, if you like mold
