Nepenthes seedlings look so neat. Very rewarding...

What type of lighting are you using for you seeds. Is it natural or artificial and if artificial what temp. and output?

no prob zul.
actually my technique just trial and error
1st time i use spaghnum moss in a transparant chamber..moss of them geriminate, but after i open the lid, one by one, they died. i think because lack of humidity.

then i try my own method
fill a pot with cocopeat+burn rice husk, then put in the water tray.
sow the seed..and wait..

make sure the tray always fill with water..

the seeds maybe just 50% geriminate. but im quite happy with the result

i'm experiencing the same thing as ur 1st. technique...but instate of opening the cover,i just let it be.but 1 by 1 the seedling died.i'll try the other method if i have the time and my stock seeds is still viable.
Thanks 4 ur input...

im sure, most people here wonder why i always use cocopeat and burn rice husk.

1. hard to find peatmoss..and quite expensive here
2. why not use spaghnum moss?? easy to find, but still pricy
3. is easy to get burn rice husk and cocopeat here. so cheap
nepenthes and sarracenia not so picky bout the media. so i use it without any problem.

in RM, 1 bag cocopeat not more then RM 12.
