Hi here my N. dubia. The plant is a basal shoot and comes from BE and was from the first seedgrown batches a few years ago. I got the plant last winter. I was very chocked when i got the plant, because it was at -6 degrees and the Sphagnum around the plant was frozen. Now the plant is doing fine and grow very good.   |

Oh god your veitchii seedlings Are huge! And I still can't believe what the dubia went through and what it looks like.
I'm getting a lot of heroes from these forums and Jens you are definitely on that list.

Yes they are. This is just one pot. I have more of them  I believe Nepenthes are harder than the most People think. I had last year for one day freezing Temperatures in the trailer and there was ice on the plant. All survived Thank you rob Jens |

yeah Jens! You are definitely among the elites here. Can u please give a little walkthrough of how to get soo good germination rate with seeds? I am still waiting on lowii seed to germinate with only 3 that germinated so far.  Can u pls tell me about ur mix, conditions, any variability as they grow in terms of low light before germination and then high light etc. |

Hey three is better than I've seen vraev, I had an aristo. hybrid seed batch only one popped up then disappeared as the warmer weather arrived (this was when I lived in Kaneohe last last year) but I wouldn't mind a Nep seed course refresher, especially from you Jens.
As for lighting I've found all want fairly high light levels.

Hi Vraev
I do nothing special with seeds
I sow them on LFS and put the pots in Zip-Lock Bags.
Then i place the bags under good light. I use 39W T5 light bulbs. My Temperatures are 20-25degrees day and night.
I also spray them every 2-3 days with fresh water and let it rinse out.
The most seeds germinate after max 14days in good rate.
When they have their first Pitchers i put them out of the bag and grow them as usual plants
This method works very well for me
