Not too much else I can add here, but some epiphytic spp do germinate more rapidly (I had some Dens germinate in a little less than a month), so that's a semester-scale project (naively assuming your...

Thanks! I'll let them stay in vitro over the winter then. So is it number of roots you're looking for, or total root mass? Is the endpoint basically just to let the whole agar volume be roots?

And...

If you have a light strip and not a bulb, beside a reflector like Leafmite suggested, slightly angling it away from you might be an option. This is what I do - LED strips mounted to underside of...
