FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I have a general idea of how to grow Nepenthes from seed but I want to confirm. What I know:
1.Evenly disperse the seeds on finely chopped long-fiber sphagnum moss
2. Keep the media damp and put it in a bag for extra humidity.
3. Give them light for 12 hours.

Please tell me if I am doing anything wrong.

Good luck with the germination! I am interested in the answer to this also, I don't have seeds, but one day....

This is from C.C.
Tropical Pitcher Plants (Nepenthes):

These seeds are best sown in a terrarium under T-5 fluorescent lights with a 14 hour photo period. Keep the light about 18” above the plants and the tank well ventilated to avoid overheating. Warm temps from 75-80 F will hasten and increase germination. Highland Nepenthes need cooler nights to flourish. Sprinkle the seeds on top of a New Zealand sphagnum moss based mix with a little finely chopped long fibered sphagnum moss on top. Keep constantly moist.


MaxSea Fertilizer:

Mist seedlings shortly after germination at 1/4 tsp per gallon. A monthly foliar (leaf only) feed will greatly speed up growth. Do not fertilize too often as this encourages moss and algae to overtake the seedlings.
