Sarracenia seedling didn’t grow bigger.
 

I have a set of S. alata from former long time ago. It is almost half year since it germinated and it still just 1cm tall. May I know what wrong with it? I keep it outdoor side by side with my adult sarracenia, drosera and VFT.

The seedling pitcher is too tiny and I unable to feed them.

Is there any special handling step I missed?

thanx...

Sarracenia can take 5 years to mature, sometime longer. They only double their size per year without fertilzer.

If that case, I may end up give it up and dont want to grow it from seeds!!!!

Theres always somewhere all left out seedlings can go ;) hehe

It is worth the effort growing sarra from seeds, you get better understanding of the genus and can get odd sport which is worthly of been a cultiver.
I have grown most of my sarra from seeds.

Hi Casey...

My sarra seeding takes about 2 years to reach 4' inch tall... it takes them some time to grow for us like child... you dont expect a baby to turn teenage within half a year do you hahaha...

Give them some time and yes reporting them seems to help... good luck and happy growing bro.

For me, 2 years for 4inches is very slow. Off topic, may I know how about nepenthes?

Re: Sarracenia seedling didn’t grow bigger.
 

Casey..I have viking seedlings now about 5+months old and around 4-5cm...And i also have a hybird from JK now about 9 months only around 3-4cm soo it varies

Re: Sarracenia seedling didn’t grow bigger.
 

Hi Casey,

No worries after the 2 years they grow more rapidly
before long you will see some nice and beautiful trumpet welcomming you every morning...

As for Nepenthes they actually veries like ken says but what i have found is they grow fairly slow on the first year then more rapidly on the second year... btw this is base on my own growing experiances it may veries with diffrent growing condition...
