Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

hey, just wanna share with yours about last time group purchase, so far

nepenthes (all not germinate yet, some got fungal infection+recently the weather is unstable, sekejap rain, sekejap sunny, some sphagnum moss even have burnt)
drosera (got one germinate so far, still unknown, most porably D.capensis)
Venus flytrap(10/50) germinated!!! as i was accidentally, unintentionally drop some on my other seeds tray, so who knows they had germinated??

HOW ABOUT YOURS? DO SHARE *biggrin2*

and some question, why the sphagnum moss will smell like seaweed is exposed to sunlight in cover condition?

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

None of my drosera seeds germinated yet :spinning:

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

My binata is sprouting. The rest are still sleeping beauties. And VFT pula start growing fungus. Headache. @@ Nep seed, few caught fungus too. Any prince charming out there want to help to kiss my sleeping beauties?

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

mine too, but i got at least 10+ of vft germinated, guess yours too sleepy, haha

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

Oh, what's your setting? In cool dark place?

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

i put it at shaded and cool place, it somewhere can get full sun, but was blocked by its upper layer rack

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

mine still no action yet.........:closedeyes:

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

Nepenthes need more time...thats why i just buy a mixed nepenthes only, too takut for loooooong time waiting...haizz

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

Hmm. noticed one out of hundreds of VFT seed I bought has germinated. Hope others will follow.

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

hope so...today me can see one traps are forming...can't wait until it open!!

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

anyone had their nep germinate?

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

yup, i got one nepenthes seeds germinated so far, it come in 80seeds of mix nepenthes, but strangely, it is its roots that were sprout first..i wonder what is it...
rhealk, you got a lot vft seedlings now?me got 20 now...haha

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

Mine still no germinations. :crying:

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

Angkau 'Telur' (hahaha, just joking), what's your setup?
Mine also 0 germination on nep.
The sundews... it was a MISTAKE to purchase so many seeds. They're germinating like weeds now.

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

bro..what you mean...i had sow almost 2000+seeds....now what i can see is whole path of green stuff.....haha

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

PM some interesting offer......

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

Haha, I mean they can grow very fast and start to produce new plants fast too. That's what happening to those sundews (adult plants) I purchased last time. One become 2 and these continue to multiple and multiple.
So this time I purchased 100 seeds of sundews of a single type and if even half germinated, guess what happen when they matured and start to multiple? They will be like weeds. Its good for those who are selling but for hobbyist, duh, I have to keep cracking head where to put them! And that's why I say I should not purchase soooo much seeds last time.

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

Hi rhealk,

I actually seperate the seeds into 2 containers and place one outdoor but at shaded area. The other i put inside an aquarium and place it in my room. Turn on the light from 9am to 8pm. From 10pm to 8am aircond on with setting at 23 degree. Mine are HL nep seeds so i reckon the conditions are conducive for them but so far still no germination. Maybe it's still too early to tell so i'll just give it a little more time and see how it goes.

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

I see. Hope yours will germinate soon.
Just now I check mine, fungus kept invading them, I think mostly come from the sphagnum moss. Sien. @@ Already spray fungicide but still kena. Looks messy

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

dip the media in boiling water and then flush them under clean water (RO or distil water) , after u sow the seed, cover them and leave small gap. I am doing this all the while to minimise the mold, some time no mold at all,

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

I see. Smart way to get rid of those irritating stuff.
Looks like time for my nep seeds to move house.

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

Mine also got mold in the beginning but since i leave a bit of gap like Boon did the problem did not arise anymore.

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

Yay. My amp x gracilis have sprouted. I guess anything that comes with gracilis will have faster germination. Other seeds are still sleeping.

Re: Last time group purchase, yours seeds starting to sprout?
 

do u guys sterilize the media b4 using it?sterilizing it prevents fungus,algae and some sorts of things that grow on ur media besides plants.i sterilize my sphagnum moss and keep it in a air tight humid place for 5months no fungus and algea growing so far
