I ordered some seed from a certain eBay seller who is mostly considered trustworthy. I sowed the seed on January 13th. After 2 months I finally have germination. Just noticed them yesterday. I had kinda forgot about them after checking them nearly daily for a few weeks. Seems that's when most people find they germinate. Hopefully with a little TLC I will have some seed grown Nepenthes jamban to trade in the future. :-D Some seed was also sent to BigBella for TC, hopefully we have some success there as well.

Wonderful! I'm hoping to try seeds again this year. I had no luck last year. That's great you got these to come up.

How soon do you all start to fertilize?

I wouldn't bother until they are a few centimeters across, until the second or third true leaves are produced. Nepenthes, depending upon the species, are far too touchy at that early age, and easily prone to burning and rot. The general -- safer -- recommendation among many growers I know and respect, is a first dilute (1:4 strength) fertilization at about six months

A fairly scholarly treatment of the subject -- and probably more than you would ever care to know -- can be found at: http://www.carnivorousplants.org/cpn/samples/Cult331NepSeedlings.htm
