I bought some GA3 90% recently and have more than i will ever use. I will trade 1 gram for multiple D. regia's, and or fresh seeds. Cephalotus follicularis (Hummer’s Giant) etc. Let me know if anyone is interested.
Regards :awesome:
I sowed some Drosera seeds in March and only a few germinated. Then in May, I sowed more seeds in the same pot. None germinated.
Last month, I moved the pot to receive more direct sunlight as the only plant in the pot of several hundreds seeds, a D. hartmeyerorum, is mature and I would like to...
Planted some D. regia seeds a month ago. Mold set in used a fungicide, it came back reapplied it. Nothing sprouted. So i am going to try some GA3 when i get some on some other D. regia seeds, maybe its because i didn't cold stratification the seeds first don't know. Does anyone know a good...
Trying to figure out the be way to work with drosera machropyhlla and a lot of people are suggesting ga3 instead of heat strat. Anyone have any extra advice before I go ahead and try this method or it this a pretty good idea?

These are seeds from our own Cindy. Siegfried Hartmeyer recommends for scientific accuracy they should be labeled Byblis filifolia 'Goliath' × guehoi(?). It is recommended that treatment with Gibberellic acid (GA3) be used to germinate these seeds. Flame/smoke treatment may also be effective...
...and I don't understand how many grams of this to mix with how much water. The table is cornfusing! All I know is that it's 20% and I've got as scoop:

Hi everyone,
I will be sharing the progress of the new Byblis hybrid in this thread. Enjoy! :water:
Parents
B. 'Goliath' - bore the fruits; over 120cm tall before the wind broke it into two; as a single stem until about 85cm in height when branching took place
B. guehoi (A) - pollen used...
Has anyone has experience with germinating both species? I used GA3 but only B. gigantea responds. B. lamellata is extremely stubborn.
Would heat/fire treatment be better? TIA!
Hi, all:-)
I thought it would be nice to share the outcome of my experiments with supplemented MS medium on some drosera species in vitro. It is well known that the presence of aminoacids in tissue culture media can promote the growth of the plants in a very significant manner (e.g. glycine...
I'm going to again try to germinate some Mammillaria theresae seed.
So far, I haven't been able to get these seeds to germinate for me, but I want to finally get over the hump with these seeds that known for being one of the trickier species to germinate.
I've done some reading up on the...
Just wondering if anyone has tried a Gibberelic Acid soak of their nep. seed prior to sowing ? What ppm have you tried and for how long ? Other seeds from what I've read are around 150 ppm for 24 hours.
Here is just one example from a March 2009 crop of Nepenthes hamata seeds from Queensland, which, initially, were germinated in plugs of milled sphagnum moss and horticultural sand (a great mix to avoid "damping off" disease from Phtophthora and Pythium fungi) and later replanted -- plug and all...
___I still have Lots of seed!___ USA only please. I don't have the proper pieces of paper.
A pretty good haul! It took five or six flowerstalks to get this much. Fresh seeds mean that (don't quote me) they don't need stratification (what I was told) and that they sprout and grow faster and...
I'm considering purchasing some GA3. I've found a place that sells it for a reasonable price, but can't find any reviews for the site itself. Could any of you recommend a trusted source for some GA3? I don't need much, maybe a gram or half a gram to play with.
Thanks,
Crystal
I received some S. oreophila seeds from the ICPS seed bank a few months ago and after 4 week startification I saw no germination after 1 month.
I then tried a GA3 approach for 24 hours and still saw no germination.
I attempted a 2nd GA3 approach and I am still seeing no germination.
Is it safe...
i have sarracenia purpurea ssp. purpurea seeds for trade, canadian trades only please, looking for something new in exchange (seeds, cuttings) i have 2 packets of 20 seeds each (need cold strat or ga3)
Happy trading!
Steven
Pm me your requests
does anyone know what i need to do to be able to get these seeds to germinate? do they need cold stratification? GA3 or in the fridge? Any info will help!
Thanks all
Steven
11 years ago our green house blew away in a very large storm, when this happened i quit collecting CP. About 2 months ago i found a large bag of seed stashed away in a refridgerator. The bag contained alot of petiolaris seed, several hard to get tuberous drosera, 4 forms of byblis and about 20...
Since there seems to be a spike in interest in seed grown plants (finally), I've decided to throw this down as the ultimate reference.
First, I decided to make my own guide on sowing. I do not advocate the use of sphagnum, especially for growing from seed, for these reasons:
1) The moss can...
