    Ghetto Seed Starting Mat

    My family grows a garden outside and we (mainly me) sprout some of our plants indoors to get them an early start. All the seeds except the pepper seeds germinate extremely well. This is most likely due to the cool temperature of the basement that are germinated in. Since im going to be moving...

    Ok so there has been a lot of discussion around Nepenthes seeds and how to do it and I know there are a bunch of different threads on that, but I wanted to inform you all on what I've learned as a horticulture major and my theories as to how it relates to Nepenthes and their seed germination...

    Drosera For My GH Sphag Cultures?

    I want to get some drosera to put in my greenhouse sphagnum cultures. The greenhouse is 50-60F at night and 70-85F during the day depending on the season. So I'll probably want something tropical or close to it because I don't want to deal with dormancy and I don't want to dig up...

    Too cold for highland seeds?

    Ive had alot of good luck germinating lowland Nepenthes in my conditions. I am trying to germinate highland nepenthes seeds by putting the seed trays in a timer controlled refrigerator at night that gets down to about 47F at night. Day temps are kept around 80f and r/h about 65%, about 16 hours...

    Gibberellic Acid (GA3) ratios for germinating Drosera seed ?

    I recently got some powdered Gibberellic Acid (GA3) 90% to help germinate some D.pauciflora and D.glanduligera seeds. I cant seem to find any definitive information on how many ppm to use in the solution. I've heard everything from 150 ppm to 1000 ppm Have any of you used this with any success...

    Do these seeds look viable?

    My Drosera venusta had a nice big flower stalk, and these are the seeds. Do you think they will grow? Do I need to germinate under lights, or can I have them start outside in the sun?

    My first Nepenthes hybrid creation! (spathulata X X predator)

    Hello everyone. Today is a very exciting day in my HL Nepenthes chamber to say the least. My Nepenthes spathulata's flower stalk has finally been harvested after 6 months of patience where I waited and hoped that I would get a few fat live seeds from the only two pods that survived from the...

    when to repot seedlings

    I have a tray of nep seedlings that i have some small plants with very small pitchers and now i am getting more seedlings starting to germinate right next to the older plants. I am wondering how big do the seedlings need to be before you can separate them out to allow them to grow with competition.
