Greeting All,

Started collecting Nepenthes in March and looking at my grow chamber, I've gone from 1 to 33 plants. In your 1 year how many plants did you collect?

I'm still in the middle of my first year of this haha! But I am having a lot of fun. Currently I only have 4 neps though! Lots and lots of drosera seedlings. I have fun growing from seeds and I think neps would take too long.

Awesome, I agreed it looks like it take forever growing nepenthes from seed. Might be the cheapest way to get the high dollar plants. Do Drosera take very long to grow from seed? I only have a Multifida and binata, and my capensis is struggling (...or I'm just impatience). Happy growing

my d. capensis took alittle over a week to germinate. they are about 3 month old seedlings now and have 2-3 leaves w dew on them already. still very very tiny though.
