I don't even see any Nepenthes seeds in the picture, much less seedlings. Where did you get these seeds from and what do they look like?

Look closely. Those bright coloured things are the seedlings and if you zoom in on the picture, you could see the seeds. Its a kit that i bought online.

Do you have a link to the kit? I don't see anything that resembles Nepenthes seeds in your picture.

If it is a kit I highly doubt they are actually nepenthes.

Nepenthes seeds look like this (though not usually so twisted up.) They can be anywhere from a couple mm to 2 cm or so long. They're generally not cheap and have a pretty short shelf-life as well as being one of the more difficult and slower-growing CPs to grow from seed. It's not a genus I'd recommend to try growing from seed until you have a good deal of experience.

Also here's a picture of a newly-germinated Nepenthes seed I took about a month ago. Notice the size compared to the LFS it's growing in.
