Recommended Posts

Hello all

The first Nepenthes seeds I bougth from Stewart in Leiden and that I have sown on 21th of august have germinated : N. petiolata and N. maxima, so the seeds were still good. Now I'm waiting for the spec D.A. and spec. mantalingahan and I'm confident that they will germinate als well.

Best regards

Hi All

Just to let you know that so far N. sp. DA, N. mantalingahanensis, N. deaniana, N. petiolata and N. maxima 'elongated' have all germinated. The maxima took only 11 days!

Cheers

Andy

I didn´t germinate even one single seed until today! :shock:

Do you think they ever will?

Hello AN D Smith!

I have also my Nep. DA germinated. About Nep. bellii no news for the moment!

For the moment I have 3 new seedlings! :wink:

Let's hope all is going to be nice with the new born plants!

I will update you with infos and photos!

Those are only the only ones...:

Hi,

Great to read about the results so far.

The first batch of my N. petiolata seeds are showing signs of germinating after 15 days on vermiculite. I got some on sphagnum (sown the day after), and a few of them are starting to germinate as well.

Regards,

Christer

Actually Steward has sold out ALL seeds including Nepenthes DA.

We are the only guys who have the future in our hands!

Now 7 seeds have germinated! :)

Wow! 7 plants! :)

Let's hope for the grow and temperature adaptability!

Bye!

Great work Mr aga :biggrin: !

I have also many ongoing germinations: "DA giant" (10 seedlings :thumbsup: ), mantalingahanensis, petiolata and maxima "elongated form". I'm waiting for others!

Friendly,

François.

Hello MrAga.

I have a doubt, do Nepenthes's seeds germinate better, in vitro or of normal form?

Beautiful plants of seed, congratulations.

And I have another doubt, you who has N.lowii, can it say to me that taken care it gives him?

Thank you very much and a greeting.

Guillermo,

I don't have experience between seed germination in vitro but also in common mode they germinate without problems!

Sockhom,

man.......you beat me! I have only 8 plants! :)

I am also happy for the seedlings of Nepenthes bellii.

Do you have the maxima in miniature? McPherson spoke about a discover of a very little maxima!

He sold seed also but at the EEE they were already sold out!

Bye!

Nooo..JenB!

You did catch in time the Micro Maxima that grows in open land! :)

Wowwwwww!

If one day you will have no more space for your 100 Maxima plants then I will be waiting here with open hands! :)

At which altitudine has been Ne. DA discovered? I think around 1500-1800 , right?

And if the seedlings will get used to raise with warmer temperatures I will be really lucky! :)

Byeeeeee!

Hi!

It has been a while since last post, has anything happened? Does anyone have further leaves than the cotyledons?

I have success in

N. mantalingajanensis (loads)

N. spec DA only 4 so far of two seed packages

nothing in mindanaoensis :-(

deaniana has yet to come but was sown a bit later!

Greetings, Mathias

Hi Mathias,

The only species to have unfolded their first pitcher leaf so far is N. petiolata and N. maxima "Mt Sesean". I can see the pitcher leaf developing on some of the N. sp. DA.

No germination on N. maxima "Elongated form" or N. deaniana (not from Stewart). I guess it is still too early to give up on them, but I am not very hopeful at this point.

Regards,

Christer

Other 20 days have passed from my last post.

Now I have 7 seedlings of the McPherson DA plants with some of them the first pitchers in development.

And also 3 seeds of Nepenthes bellii have germinated!

Nice!

See you for other updates!

Hi All, I've germinated; Sp.Nova DA, mantaliganjasanensis, alata red form Dinaget, deaniana, petiolata, maxima small wavy Mt.Sessian(this came up like cress and there's already about 125!) and sp. Cambodia from Francois.

cheers, Derek.

Hey :wink: !

I have germinated:

- mantalingajanensis (25);

- "DA" giant (20);

- petiolata (15);

- bellii (8);

- maxima "elongated form" (3);

But the number isn't important. I think the trick will be to reach the first year of growth without losing too much seedlings.

François.

PS: I have no germination of Stew 's tentaculata. It's been two months now. Has someone managed to germinate the seeds?
