Nice haul of VFTs!

Wow, your ceph is looking good! Nice catch with those vfts, I am glad you posted what your filiformis looked like because now I have a reference point.

Boy, filiformis grow FAST in water! They triple their size in a week. Can't wait for the first leaves to open.

Everything looks good!

Thank you! Yap Filiformis grew really fast once they strike. with 2 mature leave. I think I have more than 30 strikes.

Pinguicula Moranensis Flower stalk drying/dying. I need help to know why this is so. I've hand pollinated on the 2nd day of bloom and I thought they are ok.


Heliamphora Minor - updates on the 4 grow points, 1 is getting tall the all the existing pitcher


This tiny one is getting blocked, looks like a push over from my first impression lol


FTC Red mix VFT seedlings, slow growing as expected, but too slow in my care


FTC Mix VFT seedlings, I like how some of them fan out in a spiral


Drosera Venusta seedlings, still look like Tokaiensis - But I've seen picture on the net, they are like this at first.


Drosera Filiformis plantlets - All look so good after transplanting in Peat/sand mix

Those FTC baby flytraps look great

Wow! The seedlings from the FTS mix look great!

I'm guessing that if the flower stalk is drying up, it's either because it wasn't a successful pollination or the seeds are done (that seems way too fast though)

Thanks Matt & katyadog

Too fast i agree. I read it take a month to process the seeds. Looks like another failed attempts. I'll try again next flowering , hopefully i can cross when more flowers bloom together.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news I hope you have better luck with the next ones!

Ohh dont worry about it. Thanks for enlightening me. I needed some confirmations too.

Did both stalks start to shrivel? It's possible that one took and the other didn't

The one bloom first did and the second one is starting to. I guessed both failed. They are hand pollinate with their own pollens. But I do noticed there is very little pollens to harvest in the first place.

Hmm, is it possible that one of the parent plant species needs a genetically different plant to produce seed? If so that could also be your problem

Hmm, I'm not sure, there is so many Moranensis hybrid around I thought it was easy to pollinate with it's own pollens. If it can't be done this way, then I may need another plant instead of clones
