Carnivoyeur Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I was having a look on here and could not see any posts specifically going through the steps of germinating Nepenthes Edwardsiana (or even nepenthes in general doing a search for "Germinating Nepenthes") Feel free to link a post if there is one. I bought some seeds online and yes they maybe fake or not, they came from Sri Lanka, Sencirareseeds. Are they well known? Currently I have some in an incubator at 28 C and another batch on the window sill at cooler temperatures. 21 C in the day down to 15 C in the night. Any tips would be great!

manders Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hmmm, its unlikely anyone in sri-lanka has genuine Edwardsiana seeds. If you sowed them in april, something should probably have germinated by now, although they can take upto a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicat Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 How do you know they aren't going to germinate anymore? Is there any way of seeing that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manders Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 If they go mouldy then its safe to say they're dead, but otherwise i just chuck em out when i get bored of waiting and i need the space for something else. Fresh seeds should germinate a few weeks, if kept at around 24C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivoyeur Posted June 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 The seeds came from, Sencirareseeds, has anyone else dealt with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manders Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Wouldnt touch them with a very long bargepole, if they are actually Nepenthes seeds, most likely they would be N. distillatoria, a sri lankan native and hot growing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilacina Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Nepenths-seeds germinate within 6 weeks earliest if fresh.They do so without any heating and not very much light. I always sow them on pure peat in small,clear plastic-boxes like used for salads. Just drain a few small holes in the cover. If single seeds begin to mould just remove them using tweezers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
