Description
An advanced tissue culture protocol for Dionaea muscipula — the Venus fly trap — one of the most demanding carnivorous plants to propagate successfully in vitro. This protocol is intended for practitioners with prior tissue culture experience and access to a functioning sterile transfer environment.
Dionaea muscipula requires precise pH control, low mineral concentrations, and careful subculture timing. This document reflects our working protocol developed through iterative refinement and is the same system used to produce our own in-house VFT cultures.
Protocol Covers
- Explant source selection and pre-treatment
- Multi-step surface sterilisation procedure
- Stage I initiation — precise pH range and medium composition
- Stage II multiplication — shoot cluster development and separation technique
- Shoot elongation — if required before rooting
- Stage III rooting — low-auxin or hormone-free conditions
- Contamination profiles, browning management, and hyperhydricity prevention
- Acclimatisation — critical humidity management and substrate
- Troubleshooting guide for the most common failure points
