What watering method used when germinating Nepenthes seeds

[shawnintland]

Hi BA! Yep, I saw it! I use the daily misting method, with plastic boxes with a 1" screened 'window' for ventilation. My media is finely chopped sphagnum moss about 1-2 cm deep. It IS a bit time consuming, but on the other hand you really become familiar with your seeds! I occasionally have problems with mold/fungus and lately have added florescent lighting to my germination racks and 'seem' to be getting far more algae growth than I used to have. My best advice; "Do not give up on them!" I think most seeds get tossed before they have been given a real chance to grow...even when you are 'sure' that are not going to grow, dump the sphagnum out under a bush in your yard where you water regularly (and stick the tag in too!)...you'll be amazed at how many things pop up 6 mos. to 2 years later!
Good luck!
