Nico91 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Hi Guillaume, thanks for sharing. I have a question about Sarracenia seedlings: I noticed that just germinated seedlings die if they can not pierce the substrate (50/50 peat/perlite), for example when it encourtes a piece of perlite. Do you noticed same with your Sarracenia seedlings? What is your germination ratio with your medium? thank you.

Rodrigo Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'm surprised at this unusual substrate, i confess that i was not taking this story very seriously, but after seeing these pictures i am convinced that this is the result of dedication to the hobby. I would not venture to make use of it in my cultivation, since i feel that i lack feeling for this feat. In any case I can only wish him good luck in the hobby and, thus, to the next and be at peace. Best Regards, Rodrigo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillaume Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hi Nico, My ratio with sarracenia seeds germination is more better than with peat, as the substrat is not compact, roots grow very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoLongFairWell Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Out of curiosity, how well does the Pleione grow in such moist conditions, any signs of root rot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amar Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Very interesting, you are basically using granite, which, as I read, is acidic, but otherwise should be completely inert, correct? So it's basically hydroponics, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Very interesting, you are basically using granite, which, as I read, is acidic, but otherwise should be completely inert, correct? So it's basically hydroponics, no? True granite consists of quartz and alkali feldspar, though the word granite is loosely used commercially for various rock with a visible grain and harder than marble. So, composition can vary depending on the definition. If you're interested: http://geology.com/rocks/granite.shtml 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
