Hey everyone! Soits been about 6 weeks since i planted my sarracenia seeds in 2 pots. I'd put one pot in the fridge and one just straight into a propogator. The stratified pot still looks lifeless but today I noticed this which I'm hoping is a seed germinating!?

Congratulations!

Thank you! Bit unsure if it's ok being left under the 18w Blue/Red LED grow light or if that light is way too weak for it to grow?

The plant will tell you if the light is adequate.

Look for etiolation versus sturdy compact growth.

Do Sarracenia grow super slowly or will it be that they aren't getting enough light? It's currently under a 66w light (3 separate lights making up 66w, its only under one of them)

Now that the seed shell has disappeared I'm worried that this now looks like a weed that I've seen in other pots!
