I've ordered seed from more than 8 different sources and I've yet to have a single Nepenthes seed germinate in vitro or ex vitro. I'm sure that it could be due to getting old seed, but it could also be exposing my ineptitude with Nepenthes seed.I have bought ventricosa seeds from cascadecarnivores.com and they seem to have a good germinating rate. Around 70% on pure long fiber sphagnum.

After several weeks to several months, they germinate- provided they didn't get contaminated, and that the seeds are any good, and that the medium you use is a suitable one for them, and that they don't mysteriously die a week or two later for no apparent reason.
