Nepenthes seed

[elgecko]

huy716,
I placed them on top of the soil mix and kept damp with a dome over the top that is not on tight so some air can pass into the pot, in a bright area in the house.

CNCreefer,
I've read 8 weeks or so. I think mine are around 7 weeks till they germinated.

Hey all....The name of the game with Nep seeds is patience. Just forget they're even there for a while. They can sometimes take several months to germinate, so don't hold your breath!

 

[spge]

Two seeds germinate so far

 

[nepenthes gracilis]

Glad you guys are having success....I've had none and its my seed!

 

[JB_OrchidGuy]

I take it all seeds are claimed? TIA

 

[Captotterboy]

Hey,
Any idea when you might be harvesting more seeds? Or should just shut up and have some patience and not be so pushy....

No new crosses yet. My N. maxima x N. hamata contained very few viable seeds so its limited to me only, sadly. I will try again ASAP.

 

[Outsiders71]

Ya keep us updated. Nep seeds seem to be hard to come by

.

 

[nepenthes gracilis]

Ok I lied, I just looked today and I do also have germination!

 

[CNCreefer]

I sowed mine 5-03-05. It is now 9-10-05-05, and, nothing. I really don't think they are going to germinate.

I have been ignoring mine and have about 10 little Neps. A few of them have already formed their first pitcher.

 

[rattler]

ive been ignoring mine and nothing. suppose i just have good luck with your seed Steve?

 

[CP30]

I also have naught.

Oh well. I'll try again next time.

 

[srduggins]

I mailed my seed out the second after I cut it off the plant. I got SASEs before the harvest as I wanted to make sure the seed was as fresh as possible. Many people actually planted my seeds before I found time to plant them myself, (actually I'm just a lazy procrastinater). I also wonder if species seed germinate more readily than hybrids, especially man-made hybrids. There is a reason species in the wild predominate over most hybrids. Perhaps this is one of them.

 

[Capslock]

Ahhh, you're killing me! I didn't get germination from these seeds. I got plenty from srduggins ventricosa seeds, but this time, nothing. GAAA!

Hey, if anyone has a seedling of the hamata X xRokko plants, I'll trade them a big nep for one!

[JanW]

So far I got two little N. hamata X xRokko.
Thanks again for the seeds!

 

[Juan-Carlos]

Nothing yet from these guys :/ heh but thats part of the fun I guess you win some lose some;P Steve the seeds i got from you most germinated and are all doing great!
