mobile Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 A little while ago I collected some seeds from one of my Cephalotus. It is the first time I've allowed a Cephalotus to flower as I wanted to try to grow some plants from seed. Here's the results so far; Harvested seeds Germinating seeds So far, so good. Just need to try to nurture them through winter now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobile Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) Looks good. How long did it take so far? I think it's about three months since I sowed them but germination has only happened within the last couple of weeks. I initially had them on a windowsill and they did not germinate as it was cold and the day lengths were getting shorter. I had anticipated leaving them there and hoped they would germinate in the spring. I have now set up a grow shelf with fluorescent lighting so decided to move them to there and since then they have germinated.

nadja77 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Well done. It must be fantastic to see all those little Cephs sprout! Despite my best efforts - maybe that was the problem - all my seeds never germinated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vraev Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 beautiful man!! i hope you are in this for the long haul. Cephs are supposed to be notoriously slow from seed. Just like darlingtonia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) I've wanted to do some growing experiments on Cephalotus for some time now but didn't want to risk my more mature plants, so these will be my guinea pigs Edited November 6, 2009 by mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benenthes Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 excuse me if I bang into that topic like that, but what is the nepenthes in the last picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 excuse me if I bang into that topic like that, but what is the nepenthes in the last picture? Nepenthes glabrata. Not ideal conditions for it and it doesn't pitcher well but it has put out a basal and there's small pitchers on all the basal leaves.
