Re: Help with your L. williamsii

Re: Cacti micropropagation

I have never used an autoclave or laminar flow hood and while i did get contaminants from time to time id say i got around a 90-95% success rate so TCong isnt near as difgicult as it looks. 99% alcohol in a spray bottle is your biggest friend. This is really encouraging. Thanks for sharing No problem
