Hi Hellz,

Wow, Can't wait to see your photos. How long did it take to germinate the N.lowii? I'm still waiting on the N.bicalcarata seeds to germinate and I've had them under a propagation lamp in a warm terrarium. Do you germinate them under propagation lamps or outside? Got any tips for germinating lowland nep seeds?

Hmmm... lets c...
as far as time for germination my 1 N. Lowii seed out of many, it took 2 months( They were o so long...)
as for the conditions of mine, i keep all my seed under 2 60 watt compact Flourescents in a seed tray sitting in an inch of water. i let the water dry out for 3 days before re watering on the fourth.
the humidity is high, above 80%
as for the temp, its stays a constant 85+F because i keep the lights on 24/7 (idk how much $ on the utility, but my parents are starting to complain -_-)
My N. Mirabilis Seed germinated in a month in these conditions.
I still can't find my good camera that uses a niuce macro lens
i hope to post a pic of it soon
