FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Just a note... I'm interested in knowing if anyone has had any success germinating seeds from the sellers of CP seeds on e-bay.

I have had absolutely NO luck from the seller "nepenthaceae". The seller is reliable in selling and shipping, but I have never been able to get any of the seeds I've purchased from him to germinate. The seeds I've collected from my Nepenthes pop up within two months. So I know I'm doing it right.

So please, if you know of a reliable seller with viable seeds, let me know!

A couple of my N. veitchii xx tivey TY

I had 1 out of 3 seed germinated , bought from ebay, 20 seeds in total, gave 10 to my friend, I used 3.

Hello tish

yeah i'll give u a link in pm

I had trouble with flytrap seeds from nepenthaceae. I chalked it up to the fact that I overlooked the detail that the seller was in Asia, and it took like a month to ship. They were not exactly sealed the way FlyTrapStore does it. They did offer to ship more for free. I told them not to bother, it wasn't worth similar results. I gave positive feedback, but would not purchase from again because of the distance as well as the lack of decent packaging, for lack of a better term.

Hi,

I'm not an expert here but like I said. I've only sow 3 seeds from this guy. The rest of seven seeds are still in the blue tube. I would suggest you to take a few seeds out and sow them differently. Probably 1 batch in peat mix, 1 batch in only sphagnum moss, 1 batch in vitro, 1 batch only distill water. Sterilize them before you use them might help.

Just some advise that I could think of, but most I have not tried or seen result except water germination.
