I have germination! But this is as far as I've ever gotten with Nep seeds, so I'm excited.

I sowed some inside and some outside, and it looks like they both germinated about the same time. The outside looks like it might have sprouted a day or so earlier.
The top pic shows the inside sprouts. The bottom shows the outside.
Now, there is a possibility that the outside ones are stray seeds from somewhere else, as evidenced by the sundew that somehow found a home. Time will tell.

Hey, these are still germinating, so don't give up on 'em!

I was misting the somewhat dryish substrate daily because I think the first ones succumbed to rot. Last weekend I had to be away for three days so I gave them a little water in the tray, fully expecting them to be dead when I got back. But when I got back there were two healthy-looking sprouts in the right pot, and now a week later there's another one in that pot and two new ones in the left pot.

(I just noticed my red circles are kinda thin.)

What is everyone using as a mix? I’ve been trying to find coco coir and orchid bark, but the store doesn’t have it and the stuff on Amazon seems shady. I’ve got some planted in a few different types of media.

For mine I think I used peat, coir, and perlite, with a thin layer of peat/coir on top. I bought and washed (and washed and washed) some coco coir a few years ago, so had some on hand.
