The FTC seedbank has seeds of it in stock, marked as "Drosera (x Hercules x self) x D. Capensis "Big Pink)". The seedlings I have of it are growing rather quickly, but not quickly enough to get rid of

Huh, I wonder if those were donated at the same time as the Hercules x Self.
So far, there are no signs of life from these seeds...

... That's weird. Mine got almost 100 percent germination and under 2 weeks...
Maybe these are different ones. Did you get the ones donated by @DesertLlama?

I don't know... They're pretty much dead to me.
I'm going to wait until they get moldy, just in case.

The x Hercules x self seeds were donated first from a different member than the (x Hercules x self) x capensis "Big Pink" and the reverse cross.
So far, you're the only one that is reporting no germination.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

There are a couple pics floating around this forum from earlier this year. The crosses we have show about 95% or more as either "Big Pink", typical, or Albino Capes. But there are a few that show the meaty x Hercules form with the Big Pink coloration.

Hey, wait on them. I threw some seeds in a pot and they never germinated. A year and half layer, because I just left the pot pause for whatever reason lol, one of them germinated and took off. It's pretty darn big now.

How do you know it isn't some rambunctious seed that popped over from another prolific capensis?

Time to wait... For another 3 months.

Edit: 3 months AND a another year.
