I have some good news
This is in the pot that has been covered with a bag. Nothing yet in the pot that has remained uncovered.
Anyone else having any success?

Harvested seed from a new hybrid a couple days ago, only got 12....
H. parva x sarracenioides
(full sized)
After seeing the progress (or lack of) from the folliculata seed.... Im trying something different and soaking these in 500ppm solution of Gibberellic Acid (source: United Nuclear)
I will also mimic what Crissy did, pure LFS and bagged.
fingers crossed

H. parva x sarracenioides: Day 21
Woohoo, a quick peek tonight revealed at least 2 sprouts and maybe a third.
We have a new hybrid!
They were soaked in 500ppm GA3, but only briefly (10 mins).
No sign of H. folliculata germination, I think I should have covered those as well. It is still too early to give up though.
Historical observations are that heli seed can take anywhere from a few weeks to many months for germination, even among siblings.

H. parva x sarracenioides: 1 month
5 or 6 sprouts now...
Couple baby pics LOL
and while taking the pics, I noticed a sprout in another pot
H. [tatei var. neblinae x hispida (Wistuba)] x unknown: 20 Days
These were treated with a 24hr soak w/ 500ppm Ga3 and sowed on the 21st of June.
I also have some H. parva x folliculata that were soaked and sowed on the 21st, no spouts yet
Maybe the folliculata are just naturally slow to germinate.
Oh, the surface has been treated with a granular trich product, the fuzzies are normal
Thanks for looking,
Av

none for me thus far
Mach,
None of my folliculata nor my folliculata crosses have germinated. Maybe being slow is just a folliculata thang..
Historical observations indicate Heliamphora can take weeks to many months to germinate.
thank you thank you
