Hey fellow forumers‚
This is my first time growing nepenthes from seed and I have a question about how to they look. They are about a month and a half old and they look exactly like sarracenia seedlings. I have spent hours online looking at photos of nep seedlings and can't find anything that looks like mine. They are N. Ventricosa and I am positive that nep seeds are what got sown. Is this normal?
Thanks
Johnny

I am currently growing neps from seed too :D It would really help if you posted a picture. When you planted the seeds did they look like hair(pic1) or round dots(pic 2)

Here is a pic of the left over seed and the seedlings. I know the seed has a small shelf life and its best to sow it all at once. Since its my first time I wanted to try half first.

johnny a non fuzzy photo will help a lot more , agree with Dam , the last photo shows nep seed, but the first 2 photos look like other seedlings , really need a more detail un-fuzzy photo to make a proper informed post
