lucifer Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 My darlingtonia that i grow from seed is currently flowering for the first time, how can I see that the seed is ready to harvest and how much seed can I expect from 1 fllower? My biggest pitcher last year was 33cm, wondering what it will be this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ada Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 The seed pod will split in the autumn when the seeds are ripe. You can probably expect at least 1000 seeds from a fully pollinated seed pod if not more. ada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks, the waiting from growing from seed payed off. I have 2 different clones that grow very good. This year I planted out some divisions of both of that plants (see picture) and with the growing rate of those clones I expect to be grown a lot, wil take a new picture every now and then. Each container has a different clone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linuxman Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Looks very good. Can I ask what substrate you use and how often you water? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I use pure peat moss and watering is every time the substrate becomes to dry or when I think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
