Nepenthes seed

  • #101
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!

Two seeds germinate so far

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

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.

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 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.

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!
