Hi I'm looking for Nepenthes seeds I've successfully 100% germinate few and looking to add more to my collection.

Go on eBay and search 5$ for 5 seeds

That's pretty expensive at $1 a seed if it's a common species.

Edit: or of questionable origin

Naw its hybrids and there pretty rare

Can we see some of your seed grown nepenthes from ebay? And which reputable sellers did you purchase from? I've been looking for a source myself.

Check some of the FB trade/sales pages, they occasionally have seeds for sale.

I bought mine from ebay also yes they are expensive recently Last week I bought 6 seeds from Spain for 5 bucks and 50 seeds from Florida for 5 bucks cheap in good price. The one out of country sellers likes to charge high price for couple of seeds and it's a bummer. 2 weeks ago I bought 10+ seeds for 8 bucks from canada to test my green thumb for Nepenthes. When it arrived I immediately sow it on sphagnum moss before leaving to edc. When I came back it germinated.

I do ask questions to the seller before purchasing it. few of my seed successfully germinated from what I bought from ebay and even the drosera seed I got from Mike successfully germinated also. So in ebay I do ask and have them send me pictures of the seeds with name and date written on the piece paper to confirm they are real.
