Hi Wijaya

I see...........My S x Mitchelliana is a matured plant with 8" pitchers and considered quite big for me.....It has been with me for about almost a year......And so far no signs of dormancy it just grew grew and grew.....Just waiting for it to sulk (well i hope the opposite of that happens)

Without water tray? That means, you need to water it every day? That is interesting... So far, what I thought is, sarrasenia need a high level of water... :confused:

Re: My sarra seedling
 

@caseyhoo: Yes, I tried this as I got quite a lot of seedlings so trying to make them hardy and easy to grow, see if they will survive without water tray, I used 100% moss for those seedlings, they got the water when the neps got watering twice a day or from rain. I put those small pots in between my neps pot on the same table. But the mature one I still use the water tray, only for the seedling I dare to try also I believe they can be taught to adapt easier since they are from seeds.

Hi Casey, no really. I grow some of my sarracenias without water tray too, provided you water them twice a day.
I grow some in burnt soil/sand/peat mix, they are happy.:laugh:

Re: My sarra seedling
 

For me, my sarracenia works totally fine with or without water tray. Nice seedlings, wijaya!

Cheers

Hi

So you can actually grow sarrs without a water tray??? I would thought it will be hard maybe VFTs will do better compared to sarras...Anyways edward how many times do you water your plants daily???? My area is to dry to not use a water tray.....Anyways i just seperated a rhizome from the S mitchelliana.......Argh so tempted to grow them without a tray so that it will reduce the chances of mosquito larvae...Anyways i shall try it out one day

Re: My sarra seedling
 

Heh,just saw this post.Why do you need to put it in the fridge?

Re: My sarra seedling
 

the cold is to help the seeds greminate. The seed coat is resistant to water until it has been cold and wet for several weeks.

Re: My sarra seedling
 

What about soaking it in water overnight?And there's a kind of CP seed that need smoke to germinate,right?

Re: My sarra seedling
 

Soaking overnight won't help. Smoke is irelavent to sarr germination. smoke is for the species from very dry climates that experience fire.
