FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I bought 10 "Hummers Giant" seeds from a well known person in this forum and sow them in TC (hope the they are HG). Only 2 seeds germinated. Pictures for fun.
After about 4 months
Divide and multiply
After about 8 months, it's ready for deflasking.

damn, nice!!
i have had some seeds in culture for probably 4 months now, no luck yet... the seeds i got were 9 months old, refrigerated

who did you get your seeds from?

I don't stratify seeds. When I got them I sow them right away. If I remember correctly seeds germinate after 2 weeks but they grow very slowly. I check my messages and I bought them from Pokie22. I bought 5 seeds not 10 and 2 seeds grow up. This is the first time I sow Cephalotus seeds and 2 out of 5 seeds germinate; it's very good to me, thank Pokie22.

very reasonable success rate... they werent refrigerated for stratification, just storage by the guy who donated them to our seed bank (who also has some of the best cephs i have seen)

Hi,
Do you sell or trade yours Cephalotus hummer giant in vitro?
Thank you for advance.
I am from Brasil and have also some Carnivorous Plants in vitro

I don't sell or trade oversea. Moreover, I want to make sure that they are HG first.

well, at best, they would be HG x HG

He means they won't be "Hummer's Giant" seedlings, but rather Selfed Hummer's Giant seedlings, at best. Which is HG x HG. They may look very much like HG, but aren't clones, so don't have the same cultivar name.
