Smile How are your seedlings doing???

Hi everyone

I have somehow felt that the forum has gotten a little quieter so i opened a thread which kinda has no point to it.......other than asking everyone how are they're seedlings doing specifically the seedlings you got from jk????????How are they're germinations?????Good??

As i last remembered i have about 8-9 germinations and all has only 2 cute little leafs which don't look like neps at all but of course they definitly are...I wonder when will they start to make its first pitcher?? Very excited hehehe......Since you some of you guys here in the forum which has been growing neps for like years and has grown many seed grown ones what happen to them???For example you have 20++ seedlings where do they go too??? o.0..

About how long do they first start with they're 3rd leaf and later on the 1st pitcher???Well growing them weren't so difficult after all......Easier than i expected...But still my germinations are horrible compared to some pics which i have seen.....out of like probally a few hundreds only 9 came out

Anyways pics of your seedlings will be nice too...

Ken

Hi Harlem

No germinations??? Well now i feel lucky lol..........I don't think i can post some pics all the time cos of my sis hehehe....I guess i should just save up money on my own digital cam...So i don't have to beg my sis all the time to ask her to upload...I think i had a couple more but cos of the watering the seedlings i guess died under the LFS when they were way smaller.....Now a little more established its firmer and will not get under the medium

To water the seedling you can either use a water tray which will keep the media moist or use a bottle spray to spray find mist of water.In this way the tiny seedlings wont be burried or uprooted by the violent watering.

It happened to me when I was sowing my intermedia seeds that I got from Aaron. I put a few of the seeds and watered, and the next thing that happend, POOF!!!! they all disappeared. After that, I used spraymisting.

My intermedia seeds haven't shown any life at all, I removed the plastic covering their pots after detecting fungus. Now, i am leaving them be in a water tray, hopefully they will grow.

I have absolutely no idea where to get nep seeds from.......

Cheers

Hi Alienfx

Didn't see your reply there........Well today i tried out using those spraying bottles and yeah definitly effective doesn't even move them in any ways.....I wonder if i use this method then LFS at the bottom of the pot will be drier and will that affect to??

Had a little fun too.....I used it and sprayed the whole balcony and pressed that thingy to spray as fast as possible and well it looked so misty at one point hehehe.....

Ur nep will sure love those mist.Having a water tray is equally effective as misting because the lfs will absorb water from the tray.Can use either way.
