germinate

I just collected three packets each of D. capensis 'typical' and D. natalensis seeds each this morning. From past experience, both of these will germinate very quickly without cold stratification at a very high rate. They are ideal for new CPers, or people who want to try to grow Drosera from...

N. albomarginata, N. reinwartdiana These are the seeds I'm attempting to germinate in my new terrarium setup. The only information I can find on them claims that they are both from Borneo (at least), and that they have a massive elevation range, effectively making them both lowland and...

OK, I have got one. Yesterday, I visited the home of a gal in a plant trading group locally. She has a tree that is quite rare locally, but it readily produces seed she says are easy to germinate. Said to grow 18 to 20 feet tall, very cold hardy, fast grower, originally from Mexico. Only in...

My bushy old mother Drosophyllum decided it was time to flower in January/February and produce its last crop of seed. Sadly, the drosos in this pot have reached the end of their life cycle after 4 great years, but have given me many progeny to fill the void. I have two packets for giveaway...

Hi everyone, I am breaking out in cold sweat just posting this on the forum...the anticipation of what is to come, the excitement of what happened and the high chance of them dying in my climate... At the end of this April, I decided to give away the best of the R. dentata and R. gorgornias...

I just scored these from the seed bank. They were shipped today. I have not had a TON of experience with germinating drosera. I have done sessifolia capensis and probably more (I just haven't been growing carnivores long enough to germinate a ton of seeds. I have germinated some either...

I harvested a dozen or so packets of D. natalensis seeds about two weeks ago, and have a bunch left that I'd like to trade off. I'm not looking for anything in particular (though I'd like plants not on my grow list), and especially seeds from Utrics or Pings, as I haven't tried to germinate...

I thought I should share some pics of some of my villosas, the plants photographed are all seed grown and germinated in 2012, approximately around the same time (I did not germinate them myself). My current conditions are: days:74F-77F nights:48F-51F humidity 60-99% lighting: 6x t5HO, 75watt...

Once I was in a store and there was a corner in which some really strange plants were standing. They shall eat meat or something like that and they are probably dangerous. No risc no fun. I took one of the glistening with the sticky leaves. About 10 years later ...... Cephalotus Cephalotus...

I have been told that the seeds need to be on cold damp peat... So if I place seed on a damp peat pot with seeds on top then place in a zip lock bag for a few weeks, like 8 then bring them out will that do the trick? Noddy

Drosera ultramafica × spatulata This plant was sold to another grower as Drosera ultramafica but being suspicious of the tissue culture source I compared it to the published description of the species. The plant fails to match on several key points - no stem growth, lack of red stipules and...

For your consideration, 3 packets of seed (about 200 seeds total) from a white-flowering Drosera capillaris from Alabama. Seeds are very fresh, and should germinate right away. A couple pictures of the parent plant: Easy-growing, charming little sundew. Opening bid is $2, I'll pay...

Drosera cistiflora Pink Flower ~20 seed From last year's harvest. Seed has been cold stored 34-38°F. As with all winter growing Drosera it may be difficult to germinate and establish the first year. Refer to these links for growing tips...

Up for giveaway is one packet of roughly 100 or N. pulchra seeds for SASE. These seeds appear to be ancient and in no way would I call them fresh. It is my hope that whoever gets this packet can germinate some of them maybe. I will choose randomly from a list who the winner is. Just write...

I have six portions of seed available for giveaway and or trade. Each portion for giveaway contains roughly 15 seeds. Three portions will go to those who demonstrate they can most consistently germinate Nepenthes species from seed. Two will be given randomly via choosing two numbers from a...

I have six portions of Nepenthes seed for giveaway/trade. Each portion has roughly 10-15 seeds in it. This seed is less than two months old. This seed belongs to an unknown species of Nepenthes that is related to N. ventricosa. Five of the portions are for giveaway. The sixth portion is up...

I've been interested in tuberous Drosera for a while now, but given how rare they are I haven't had a chance to grow them yet. I'm thinking of getting some seed from the ICPS seed bank, but does anyone know how difficult it is to get them to germinate? I've had only bad experiences with growing...

Since I made such a big deal last year about going the seed route I thought I should a at the very least post a few pictures of the results: Nepenthes ampullaria 'Red' Spider mites had the growth top webbed over before I realized I had a problem but after treatment it is back and producing...

I got some N. bicalcarata seeds in the mail yesterday, and I'm looking for input on growing media. I used Better-Gro Premium Orchid Moss that I chopped in a blender. I mixed that with an equal amount of plain peat moss and added a little medium grade perlite. Is this okay for germinating...

For those of you that may be interested, one of my other hobbies is homebrewing. I'm still relatively new to it but last week I decided to embark on a pretty cool adventure... making Chicha de Jora! So the other night I stumbled upon the Chicha episode of Brewmasters via Netflix and seeing that...
