FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I potted up seedlings of northiana germinated late 2017. And reinwardtiana germinated early 2018. More of being forced to do so because the LFS they germinated in had started to decompose. A few seedlings started to decline.

This was one of the two germination trays before transplant, The roots were actually long and branched looking through the transparent tray. Side roots are fragile. Most broke off when seedlings were uprooted.
Lost 3/30 in the process. Died within one week afterwards. These are weaker and smaller seedlings to begin with. The rests are tough. No sign of stress after transplant. Continue growing immediately. They have been one month in pots. Looks healthy. A couple of photos taken today.

Interesting. Are Nepenthes hard to grow from seed?

With patience, not particularly hard. Seedlings are sensitive to environmental changes and pest infestation. Fatal overlooks can be too late to fix. I would recommend trying on seeds after having a few years success in taking care of large plants of similar needs. Only fresh seeds germinate reliably. Even then, it takes months to sprout and years to grow into appreciable size.
