Some exciting news...

[christerb]

Looks great, yours have come much further than mine. Actually, many of mine have gone backwards. Recently I moved them to a peat moss/perlite mix, instead of the milled sphagnum that they germinated on. Hopefully they will perk up. My veitchii "green" seedlings have grown better than the "stripe", I can't say I understand why though.

Here's a "green" seedling.

Regards,

Christer

Really nice work there SK! They're looking really healthy, you're one lucky guy.

Mine are further behind than these, but I'd estimate I have about 40 seedlings of both the green and candy-striped Veitchiis. I got the seeds late in the various exchanges, but still had good germination.

thanks guys
max, i never got any germination out of the green veitchii seeds sadly

however i am attempting to germinate some N. inermis, N. aristolochioides, N. naga, and N. reinwardtiana red seed right now

 

[SirKristoff]

Super exciting news to chime in....
I have several reinwardtiana red seedlings growing now, and some inermis seeds just sprouted...
now to wait for naga and aristolochioides to sprout.

Only 2 plants remain from this batch, the rest were sold/stolen/died from neglect during my break from the hobby sadly..... I do not have an accurate number for the amount stolen, and the remaining sibling is only 1” across... sad given that it’s been 8 years.

Very nice! glad something came out of it.

It's always interesting to see what plants happen to be lucky enough to survive out of a batch. That one looks like it has some good potential in it.

 

[SirKristoff]

I don’t know how many of the ones I dispersed prior survived. I hope there are quite a few still though. I know a handful of us here in the states received seed, if you refer to an earlier comment.

Well, the two you have is better than I've done with some received Nepenthes seeds. Glad to see some still putting along!

Gave it a live sphagnum top dressing about a week ago

Haha the Sphagnum rubellum is quickly outgrowing this seedling and it’s been what... 2.5 weeks?

I'm always jealous of a pot with nice moss. All the species I get grow super compact and stay the same size for months on end.

Newest trap opened up a couple days ago. Looking promising now!
