Default Sowing/germinating seeds and seedling care.

Hello,

I just wanted to get peoples opinions on growing nepenthes from seed.

1. Suitable and effective potting mixes to sow seeds on?
2. Temperatures?
3. Humidity dome/plastic cover, or no cover at all?
4. Lighting conditions. Outdoors with other well growing mature neps, indoors under CFLs? Sunny, bright, shaded conditions if outdoors? If indoors, how close to the lights?
5. Potting mix sterilization or treatment. Fungicide, microwave?
6. Seedling treatment. Watering, misting?
7. Finally, when to transplant to individual pots?

Probably question that have been asked too many times to which many different answers can be found through many resources on the web. I just wanted to hear about peoples personal experiences and what has worked well for them. Thanks a lot everyone, later!
