Hey all,
I ordered a mystery box! The contents: 2 vigorous (foreground), 6 sawtooth seedlings (midground) , and 2 seed grown (background)!
Here they are growing in coco peat.
It only took me two days to demineralize the coco peat, brand Eco Earth. I rigged an conductivity meter out of a few lengths of wire and an ohmmeter. The TDS was down to 38 ppm! I just let it soak and dry in 24 hour cycles rather than 10.
I also acquired a Nepenthes x Singapore Gardentech from jht-union ! The humidity was too low where he lives, so the leaves started burning. I'm sticking it in a greenhouse, where hopefully those tiny little pitchers will grow! One fell off in shipping, but I'm sure it'll make more.
Yay!
