some of you are wondering what new nep seedling looks like ,so here are some that have just germinated from the seed pods , in a few pic's you can see the stem coming out of the pod and the first leafs and pitcher all ready forming , , these are from a bought plant that has theses seedling emerging in its potting mix , they may be N.ventricosa , but not sure yet till they will be some 4 to 5 years old

Great photos John! I've never seen a Nepenthes seed germinate in person. Thanks for sharing these.

Very nice to see them germinating, what soil mix are you using? I usually seen these being sowed on LFS. How old were these seeds? Did you obtain them yourself?

see...in australia also can germinate nep seeds.well done!keep them warm.i think many ppl in Europe and Australia germinated this guys succesfully.

Hi Peter
so many questions
the mix the original germinated in was from a wholesaler of CP's in Victoria so i suspect it was a peat mix . I have just put them in a peat and sand mix now .
Ok on LSM yes I have tried it on that and peat with still no success as yet ?? very frustrating for me !!
I do not know how old the seeds are but the seedling have been popping up for a few months now .
Well they cam in a potted nep and the seeds were germinating when I received the plant it was only a may be 2 or 3 year old plant ,probable a t/c plant as well
