Hi,
I've alreadt found some informations on the net, but I've been curious if someone here grows P.lutea or got it's seeds germinated? What conditions should I give it?

Don't take my word for it, but I think the moist peat/perlite or suspension in distilled water in a container is fine. I'm not sure if it needs high humidity or not. I wouldn't take a chance, though.

OK I sowed them yesterday. I used a 1:1:1 peat:quartz sand:milled LFS mix. Placed the pot in a zip-lock bag, very sunny place.

Unfortunately not:) But maybe they just didn't see the topic. Let's wait and see what will happen, I hope they'll germinate

From what I know pings are different to other plants in their general watering and sunlight. Hopefully it will contain different germinating rules!

Let us know how you get on!

Got some ping seeds germinated before but it's the first time I give a try to the southern US pinguiculas, these are moderate-tropical ones. Let's hope they'll germinate, i'm propably the first person to get them to Poland so i hope i'll be able to spread them here.

They germinated today! Anyone here grows this species? What are the conditions it needs like?
