🌱 How To Sow Nepenthes Seeds 🌱 Maximize Your Chances Of Having Seedlings!

[@Osher4]

What temperature do you recommend them at? ICPS says 80-09 deg F (25-30C). Currently I am able to keep 70 degree nights and 90 degree day temps. intermediate seeds. Will that be okay? Thanks again, videos are great

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Your temp looks good 👍 Go for 12h to 14h of light a day. ;)

[@Osher4]

@@WindowsillNepenthes 🙏 thank you very much!

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

I filmed this video 6 weeks ago and I can already tell you that there are 4 seeds that have germinated. So expect a sequel to this video!

[@ilikeplants7781]

Useful info! Thanks 😁

[@letlovelive93]

Waiting on my seeds to come today!!

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Cool! Where did you get them? What species/cross are they?

[@paulinefieth5611]

Loved the sphagnum moss monster - scissors are good!

[@irladd]

Excellent many thanks will give it a go

[@Aniallationfulable]

Love the Gremlins clip! I'm pretty sure my roommates wouldn't love me using the blender for LFS lol. Also a light tutorial would be great. Found it very confusing to shop for and learn PAR, etc.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

I never researched on this topic as I use natural sun light, but maybe later I'll get a grow light and make a video. ;)

[@Supercazzola]

I'd really like to see a video that shows how you harden off newly sprouted Nepenthes from seeds. Do you wait some time before removing them from the higher humidity under the dome?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

You're ahead! I'll show that soon! In fact I have 3 plants from this very seeds that are already big enough to be put on a windowsill but first I don't have the space right now... First, I have a tray that was requisitioned by my wife to grow vegetables while waiting for spring. Second, since it's still a little cold at night on my windowsill, I'll to wait for it to warm up a bit to limit the shock on the small nepenthes. ;)

[@carlosledesma3443]

in wich store did you buy those pods? just amazing hope u answer bro thanks

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

It's a Facebook group. I'll ask them if I can name him.

[@paulinefieth5611]

My seeds don’t have the brown spines attached; hope they are nepenthes! Great video and I will put them under the grow light along with the drosera I planted yesterday.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Without this 2 spines on each side, that's not nepenthes sorry 😐

[@cajbrg]

Hope you teached me well.. I'm getting my first seeds, from Carnivero (just received notification they were send)

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

I did my best 😊

[@chuckdean4887]

Anything germinate yet

[@cajbrg]

@@chuckdean4887 I don't know if you asked me, but nothing yet.

[@carnivaro]

great video, can you please tell which supplier you got the seeds from? thanks

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

I can't name them as I would need their agreement first. But all are private Facebook groups. A quick research and you should find at least 2 of them. ;)

[@NarayananBG]

Hai bro i just sow some N echinostoma seeds with in first week some seed start to show some white powdery mould ( fungus,) in part of seeds embryo what can do to control them just 8 passed after seeds are sow

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Personally I spray hydrogen peroxide. ;) But I don't when seeds start to germinate. You can also increase the airflow.

[@NarayananBG]

@@WindowsillNepenthes what percentage

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

@@NarayananBG The spray for small injury. It's the 3% I believe.

[@vivimannequin]

So how long do they take to germinate?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Depending on "how fresh" they are, something between 2 to 10 weeks.

[@vivimannequin]

@@WindowsillNepenthes nice

[@BlaisZeroni]

What humidity and tem would you reccomend to keep seeds at? I have put some as you showed in a small humidity dome but should I open the holes and if so, how many? How often should I spray the seeds ideally?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

I spray once a week and all the holes are open. You want it humid but with decent air flow ;)

[@BlaisZeroni]

@@WindowsillNepenthes mine has cross ventilation holes at the sides as well, should I open those too? What % humidity? My hygrometer shows 99% at the moment

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

@@BlaisZeroni Open the side ones if you start having mold issue, I'm sure only 80% would work. ;)

[@BlaisZeroni]

@@WindowsillNepenthes thanks!

[@SlugBeats]

where can I find a transparent container like the one you use?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

They are called seed-tray and I add a humidity dome. You can find them in greenhouses or hydroponic stores

[@victormartell00]

Hola, no las desinfectas? Como las puedo desinfectar y con que gracias

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Just like in nature, I do not disinfect them. But I heard that with a little bit of bleach and a lot of water it works. tissue culture facebook groups may be able to help you.

[@victormartell00]

@@WindowsillNepenthes thanks

[@oenrob98000]

Do we need to fertilise nepenthes? I'm not sure if you've created a video on this topic.

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

No video yet about that but I will ;) Fertilizing is important if the plant don't have access to insects (indoor). And it speed up the growth for sure.

[@hotchips786]

i have seeds that are over 5 years old i wonder if they will still grow

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

That's a long shot but let us know!

[@abir95571]

Damn those seeds are tiny , now I get why cutting method is so popular in nepenthes

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

And cuttings gives you a plant way faster! (And a higher chance of getting one)

[@plantguy9]

What kind species or hybrids are these seeds?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

That's a crazy name: {[(lowii x veitchii) x boschiana] x (northiana x maxima)}

[@geoffreyglangine1972]

what is the germination time ? i started mine 2months ago and still no seedlings !

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

It will depend of the freshness of the seeds. Fresh one take 1 month. But I got some fresh ones that weren't good and never germinated. Keep hope and wait 5 months before doing anything. ;)

[@mateuszlesniak9941]

whether you sprinkled the seeds after sowing?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

The water spray will press the seeds on the substrate so less seeds will be drying.

[@ShsmaEheh]

If I buy seeds , how long does it take to spoil from its popping time ?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Depending how they're kept. But after 6 months it's almost too late

[@ShsmaEheh]

@@WindowsillNepenthes 6 months!!! I'm feeling so happy man , I'll order some seeds and I was afraid about that they might spoil in week or some .

[@noseface1239]

What solution of hydrogen peroxide do you use for killing mold? 5 part distilled to 1 hydrogen peroxide?

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

To clean the surface mold and before the seeds germinate or when the seedlings are bigger like 4 leaves, I use it pure and spray (it's hydrogen peroxide 3%).

[@61mab]

Shame on you for triggering me to put in an Etsy buy for Amp Black!!! :😁 Might happen, I've got Drosophyllum lusitanicum coming up daily ...two wks germ. , and who knows what will happen trying to transplant and I screwed up with a drosera seed zipped up in a bag on wet long moss that look blue so prob rotted, so stupid actions are always a potential for exotic plants and animals at any time or experience so call "Level"
