Redsarebest Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hi all How long does it take for darlingtonia seeds to germinate? I bought some seeds together with some sarracenia seeds, and sowed them all at the same time. I put them all in the fridge for 6 weeks and then into the greenhouse. I have some sarracenia seedlings about 2mm high but nothing from the darlingtonia. Any help/advice appreciated. Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ada Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 They should germinate around the same time.Are they getting the same amount of light? My sarracenia seed germinated early this year,except for two pots.these were not quite as well lit as the rest,so I moved them into direct sun.A couple of weeks later they germinated fine. Slight differences can make all the difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsarebest Posted June 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hi Ada I have them in the same place but I will double check that they get good light. Thanks for the response. Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicat Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Ada, I got your darlingtonia seeds in march 2017. I sowed them on dead sphagnum moss that i kept moist (nothing on the top). Humidity is roughly about 50%. About 5 weeks later I got germination (12 out of 12 seeds germinated, lost 1 later). This is what it looked like on germination: Now they look like this: Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ada Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Those are great results!!!!!  did you feed them?  Its always very rewarding to see other growers doing really well with seed grown plants originally supplied by me. thanks for showing your excellent results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsarebest Posted June 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Unfortunately, I still don't have any results. I moved the pots into more light. I'll just keep checking, hoping and keeping fingers crossed. It's been a couple of months now though! Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redsarebest Posted July 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 I've given up. There is absolutely nothing to see. I'll try again when I get some more seed. Thanks for your advice. Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
