ventricosa seed questions

[SirKristoff]

sowing them in Live LFS and perlite
going to be in a humid box but in my terrarium with 15 hours of fluorescent light and temps of 75-80ºF
will this work?

Live sphagnum can be a real problem with seedlings because it can out grow and smother them. Peat/perlite mixes work best for me.

ill try some in both then

of the thousands of nepenthes seed ive gotten.... so far ive only germinated a few on the live stuff. everything else molds.... i had to constantly cut back the moss and that was the only downside.

My best results have come from milled (blender) LFS that I then microwaved to a boiling point (to kill EVERYTHING) for at least one full minute of boiling. STERILE.

Obviously you have to cool it off before you sow....

im going to go with Phissions mixture of peat perlite and vermiculite, i might throw in some LFS too
