    Loquat seeds (ghse1guy $2)

    You are bidding on fresh loquat seeds, harvested yesterday. The loquat is an edible yellow fruit about as big as a large grape. The seeds germinate easily for me as long as they aren't allowed to dry out, and grow into trees about 10 feet tall. The trees flower for me every winter and produce a...

    Need Ceph Cotyledon Photo

    Hi guys, I've got some cotyledons I am unfamiliar with coming up in a pot of Ceph seeds I am hoping to germinate. The timing is right and they were the only seeds in the pot, so I think I may have gotten some germination. I've never germinated this species from seed, so I'd love to see photos...

    Looking For Difficult Seeds

    I was just given a bottle of a product www.inocucor.com/products/ (thanks to Ray at First Rays Orchids)containing a mix of microbes that supposedly have multiple benefits for plants. The benefit which I'm most interested in is a claim to help prevent damping off and other fungal issues. I'd...

    The irresistible appeal of Sundews

    Now that I'm actively working to restore my CP collection, I'm giving serious thought, as to which Drosera to include first, in my newly regrowing collection. Of course, I've already started with Drosera regia 'Big Easy', Drosera schizandra, Drosera prolifera, and Drosera adelae. Through the...

    P. planifolia and seed germination(help please)

    I was recently reading posts on some other forums about a guy named brian submerging his planifolia seeds in water and growing the babies immersed with good germination rates and apparently makes it easier to grow the plants into adulthood? I guess this is what happens in nature, the planifolia...

    Why won't my Sarracenia germinate?

    A few months ago, I bought a packet of sarracenia seeds from a garden-centre. I immediately stratified them in my fridge in a plastic-bag containing a peat-sand mix for four weeks. After that, the bag has been in my room. For part of the day, they are under a lamp where they are 20-25*C, and...

    Tuberous Drosera

    After speaking with several members here among other growers, I have realized that there are more misconceptions about successfully growing these plants than I had thought. I wrote the care sheet below last year for the NECPS members to use as a guide for their cultivation and I hope that it can...

    Where to Get Long-Fibered Sphagnum?

    I've had best results with using a LFS-based media for Nepenthes. So far, I have been buying the little ZooMed LFS bales, but I'm wondering if there is a better source cost and quality-wise. The ZooMed LFS is okay, but it tends to have a more "crumbly" texture than I'd like, and it takes a long...

    Hi everyone! I've got a small amount of seed set by my Sarracenia 'scarlet belle'. They may be self pollinated, or may be a cross by flava, alata, or jonesii. I don't know for sure whether this hybrid can be expected to set viable seed but the seed itself looks healthy so if anyone out there...

    What are the categories of moving, "Sensitive Plants" that aren't carnivorous?

    What are the categories of moving, "Sensitive Plants" that aren't carnivorous? What are the categories of sensitive, moving plants that you know of, besides the carnivorous ones? They are neat because they are animal-like. I had some small, seedling sensitive plants that are native to the...

    How Quickly Can Nep Seeds Germinate?

    I frequently read how long it can take Nep seeds to germinate, but I'm interested in the other end of the spectrum. I'd really like to hear first hand accounts of people's quickest germinations. Thanks!

    Found some old seeds... worth trying to germinate???

    Cleaning out the closet in my plant room recently, I discovered a paper bag containing smaller paper bags full of sarracenia seed that I collected in fall of 2012. These have just been sitting in the closet in general house conditions. Are they likely to still be viable?

    A lot of my Drosera flowered recently, and since seed of any kind almost never germinate for me and I don't want to bother with it, I would like to give away some flower stalks so they don't go to waste. Please note that some of these are a few weeks old, so I can't make any promises of...
