I had germination in some nepenthes seeds about a month ago. There may be some 6-8 seedlings with the initial two cotyledons. And then.... nothing. No real leaves have formed so far. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? If I look very carefully with a magnifying glass, it looks like a few of them may be considering growing a leaf - more like a speck forming between the cotyledons, but nothing remotely like a leaf or pitcher yet. Seedlings seem fine - not wilting or anything. To the best of my knowledge none have died yet. Some have even grown in size slightly (the cotyledons and tiny stem just becoming slightly bigger overall - this is nepenthes seedling scale - observable only to the obsessed, not like tomato seedling big)
On an average, how long does it take after germination for the first leaves/pitchers to form? I understand that they will be those indistinct tiny pitchers, but surely something should have happened by now?
