Sarracenia Seedlings

[dionae]

Hello everyone! I love sarracenias and over the last couple of months i've bought, been gifted and traded for several different sarracenia seed. Theyre mostly hybrids because I really like the unique looks of some hybrids. I also tried, for the most part, to pick parents that are colorful because i'm attracted to red pitchers. Thats probably why S purpurea is my favorite sarracenia.

Now, a few things have germinated and I thought i'd share some pics.

There are most definitely more that i'll list up as they germinate.

I do realize the seeds like Leah Wilkerson wont give me an actual LW. I'll keep this updated as seeds germinate and get bigger.

Good luck! One day you'll have an absolutely amazing Sarr collection!

 

[dionae]

Thanks LK and Eric!

looks great!! Good luck with the seeds!

Beautiful plants! How long does it typically take for a sarr to start producing adult pitchers? I've been thinking of making my own hybrids, though since I'm a college student and not sure where I'll be in five years' time, having tons of sarr seedlings doesn't really seem possible. :\

 

[ErrorEN]

Oh hey how big are those Sarracenia Rosea seedlings? They look rather large for plants started this year. O_O?

 

[dionae]

How long does it typically take for a sarr to start producing adult pitchers?

I'm not positive but i'd say a few years.

how big are those Sarracenia Rosea seedlings?

Not that big. Theyre in a 12 oz cup and have just started going through a growth spurt. The biggest pitcher on plant #2 is probably around 2 1/2 inches at the most.

 

[ErrorEN]

Woah. That's actually pretty large for a Sarracenia Purpurea seedling in one year of growth. I gotta get me some seeds then. Did you fertilize it at all?

 

[Cichvette]

Wow, impressive list.

 

[dionae]

Did you fertilize it at all?

Ne fertilizer but I did feed plant #2 a small beetle.

impressive list

Thank you!

Oh wow, your sarra seedlings are so nice I wish I could grow mine so well!

 

[dionae]

Thank you thez yo!

Holy germination percentage!

I'm definitely interested in trading some one of those S. leuco "purple and white" x flava var. rubricorpora seedlings once they get larger.
