WOW! That looks really cool! Good job with that! How many varieties of Sarrs are there in those shots? Also, what are the VFTs growing in?
I don't envy you when it comes time to repot...or maybe i do!
Aloha Fred. i need to try that with the sphagnum. I am using a peat sand mix and the VFTs don't seem to like it as much. Has been better with the sarracenia seedlings, but i do tend to use a fairly thick layer of ground LFS as a top dressing of my seedling pots. maybe it is doing the same thing? New thing to try for next bunch of seeds. I am testing indoor growing in the fall -summer season. then move them outside after transplanting. Ugh cant imagine transplanting all your seedlings
Aloha Fred,
how do you decide which ones to keep and which ones to let go? Also what time frame?
You know Mach that’s the million dollar question. “How do you decide which ones to keep and which ones to let go”? Sometimes it’s just a guess but the key is to let them get as big as you can before you make that call. Typically a year or more for me (but it certainly depends on your growing conditions, fertilizer etc.). I look for 3 things at the seedling stage: shape, color and growth rate. If they meet my criteria for all three, they’re keepers until the next round of cuts.
REALLY nice looking seedlings!!!
I have a question about VFT seedling care.
I can get them to germinate fine, but then within the first four or so leaves, the new leaves become much smaller.
