I've updated my blog on the latest status of my tissue culture experiements with Cryptocoryne.
Earlier this year I'd posted a number of blog entries documenting my efforts of trying to propagate Cryptocoryne via tissue culture. It's been quite a learning experience so far and I really do enjoy doing tissue culture at home. Although it seemed tedious at first, with practice and experience, I can go through a set of exercises pretty quickly now.
One of my more successful efforts was trying to propagate C. nurii invitro using seeds to initiate the culture. The seeds proved very easy to sterilize and I had zero contamination and near 100% successful germination of the seeds. However, I did manage to destroy a number of seeds when trying to insert them just under the surface of the gel - which by inexperience I'd prepared to be a little too hard. Lesson learnt!
