Last SASE came in was packed and went out today!

Something dug in my pot of seeds :-\ Hopefully some still sprout.

Groundhog?

Has anyone gotten any germination from these seeds yet?

 

[Eric]

None of mine have germinated

 

[CorneliusSchrute]

Nope. Not yet. I was thinking about moving them away from light for a few weeks. An absence of light was a trick that seemed to help when germinating Nep seed in the past... For me anyway.

Maybe I'll give that a try with one of the pots I sowed.

How long have they been planted? I have some from another source that I sowed in April that just sprouted last week! Might just have to give them some time.

Houston we have germination!!! I can't get a decent pic with my crappy camera and photographic abilities, but based upon pics from Paul, it's definitely a Nep seedling! More information later today!

 

[SubRosa]

Ok, some specifics. I started 3 pots of these. #1 is in my paludarium, temps vary from 65F-75F, humidity from 50%-90%, pot receives low light, about what a Phalaenopsis likes. Nothing there yet.#2 is in a warm room full of aquaria, temps stable around 75F, humidity stable around 70%, pot sits about 2" below a T12 fluorescent that needs replaced BADLY. Nothing there yet.#3 is in a greenhouse at work, temps vary from 50F-85F, although in the last few weeks it hasn't gotten over 75F. No humidity gauge, but it's definitely sticky in there. Pot is under moderately bright light, a Nep miranda a few feet away grows nicely with good color on the pitchers. That's where a single seedling was noticed this morning. Hope this info helps!

Second seedling in the same pot, first noticed yesterday.
