You don't need to, but if you have something you want to try to tissue culture, by all means, bring it.

I could use some clippings if anyone has anything extra. I don't need a ton and I don't need anything fancy. Just stuff to get a tank going with.

For the TC Workshop, I just wanted to further note the 9:00AM start time. Unlike the GWAPA meetings, I believe Carol wants to start on time to be able to get through a lot of material, so please arrive promptly.

Emersed growth only correct?

I could bring a spare Crypt elliptica or something like that.

Do you think that Crinum calamistratum would be a good plant to culture?

Is there anything specific that you would like? Low, med, or high light stuff? I have a flotilla of Rotala nanjenshan I'll bring you.

haha... I don't think I need a "flotilla"

Med to high light. Basic stuff.

Dave (ingg) found a newbie plant guy in my town, sent him to me, and I've finally talked him into CO2. So we are trying to get his tank going. Also, I could use a couple things myself. I messed up and did too severe a pruning, and now I'm getting a little algae. ugh
