'Maxima' sprouted

17 years ago

Success!! 5 out of my 20 nep 'maxima' seeds sprouted today, after 3 weeks of germinating under a couple flourescent bulbs. I used the seedling mix suggested in 'The Savage Garden', and kept the humidity between 85 and 90%. The hard part is going to be getting them to maturity, which I know takes a few years.

Good deal. I just noticed a sprout of viking x ampullaria spotted yesterday myself. I've tried nepenthes seeds before with no luck. Maybe I finally have the environment right.(fingers crossed) Good luck and here's a picture of mine.

What was your environment? I am 0 for 5 with any kind of Neps seeds, no matter what I did with temps, light, media, moisture, etc...

Growing from seeds is the next step I will try. Great to see that you nailed it!
