Tried once with boris method...Worked well

interesting, but superbly expensive...

Re: Nepenthes seeds germination
 

That isn't so expensive. That are very simple plastic petri dishes. I had the luck that I didn't even had to pay for them. I got them from a good friend who is working in such a company but nevertheless they shouldn't be so expensive. The living sphagnum is from my sarracenia area and didn't cost me anything also.

Re: Nepenthes seeds germination
 

that petri dishes wasn't expensive, but it is the live sphagnum that is expensive, it's sort of rare here...

Re: Nepenthes seeds germination
 

sphagnum moss are common in part of lowland where the conds are favourable, and in intermediate and H/L they are more widespread.

Someday I would want to try with our local aquatic plants, those you can find in longkang. LOL

Re: Nepenthes seeds germination

Re: Nepenthes seeds germination
 

Just leave it that way...Nature will know what to do.

Re: Nepenthes seeds germination
 

What a coincidence, this morning saw a greenish thingy on my N.fusca seeds tray which i has given up hope on. Turn out got 1 seed germinated but the top growing into the sm. I used a tweezer to remove the sm around the thingy and saw two small leaves buried in the sm. So i just turn it upright and hope that it will be alright.

Re: Nepenthes seeds germination
 

weird stuff happens here...seeing some of the "germination" on my pot, most of them looks like seeds of other plant/weedy grass because the green stuff grows till the seeds get pushed up realizing that it actually emerge from a tiny seed that looks like biblis seeds, being lazy, I left it there, till now...I saw an awkward growth on one of the new leaves...a pitcher...
