« Thread Started on Jun 15, 2007, 3:29pm »http://s4.images.proboards.com/buttons/modify.gif http://s4.images.proboards.com/buttons/delete.gif showing off one of the raff.elongata grown from seeds january,2006. Its growth is getting more vigorous recently as new and longer leaves are produced with new pitchers. There are some from the same batch but much smaller than this one. They seem to have different growth rate although given the same medium and care.

Robert, yours is really vigorous growing so big so fast. You're right, mine also like that, with different growth speed eventhough they are from the same batch. Perhaps it's the genetic make up of each individual plant?

Others remain small.

« Reply #5 on Jun 21, 2007, 10:38am »http://s4.images.proboards.com/buttons/modify.gif http://s4.images.proboards.com/buttons/delete.gif This is my young nep from David.
I assume it's N. mirabilis x thorelli. Nice pitchers with red markings on the top part.

This is N. Northiana seedlings. Initially I put the pot submersed with water soaking. Then saw leaves dying, I've lifted the pot without soaking wet now and changed the media to half perlite half sphagnum. It's growing much better now and new tiny pitchers forming!

Here's my tiny indoor tank, it's about 1.5feet wide.

what is your comment raising seeds and seedlings artifically vs natural light.

Thanks Robert. It's not the best setup, but it's serves its purpose lah.
Ok, here's my experience so far
Artificial Light and high humidity tank
Drosera, Pings Seeds germination Not successful at all
Nep seeds, so far I have very good germination results in this tank. I will soon have too many dark red spot ampullaria seedlings(seed from TS) to give away in a few months time.
Natural light is better for drosera from my experience but nep seeds germination is slower than my indoor tank. I suspect that drosera seeds don't do well under high humidity conditions.

« Reply #8 on Jun 24, 2007, 12:19am »http://s4.images.proboards.com/buttons/modify.gif http://s4.images.proboards.com/buttons/delete.gif Droseras don't like the humidity to be too high. For growing anyway. Germination seems to require high humidity. But for a plant too high humidity would rot the plant.
