Do Nep Seed Germinate In Bunches?

Vbkid

Getting There...
So about 2 weeks ago I noticed the first 2 seedlings (after about a month or so) in a pot of nepenthes seed. I have another pot of identical seed next to it, and both pots appear to be mold free and healthy. However, it is 2 weeks later and those 2 seedlings are still the only ones.
In people's experiences, will more pop up from time to time? Or are these probably the only two seedlings I'll get out of the 100 or so seeds between both pots?
Thanks,
Kyle
 
You will probably get more...mine come up in sets....a few here, a few there...usually over the course of 2 months.

Yes, they do arrive in bunches. I have had seed batches germinate over the course of an entire year -- from the first "arrival" at four weeks to others at over fifty . . .
