Re: seeds germination
I have had N. benstonei seeds germinated after 4-5 months !!
pwarrior,
What the site said is mainly how the process of germinating nep seeds in sterile agar media (also used for growing TC plants) in vitroly (in a concealed flask) was done.
Pic 1 - Seeds were placed in a sterile media
Pic 2 - Seeds started to germinate after 6 weeks
Pic 3 & 4 - Some seeds may take longer to germinate. In this case most seeds germinated and seedlings slowly growing bigger after a few months for N. sp. viking x rafflesiana var alata.
Pic 5 & 6 - When it's too crowded, separate the seedlings into new flasks.
Pic 7 - When the seedling is bigger with well developed roots, it can be deflasked and slowly acclimatise to grow outside. Seedling shown here is N. sp viking x sp 2.
Hope this help.
