This was cool to see the developement. I have some that just sprouted. Took about 4 weeks for me. I'm very happy because one is true ventricosa crossed from my own pair. So it's nice to hopefully introduce new pure ventricosas for other growers in a few years. According to Predatory Plants, seedlings aren't ready for sale or trade until three years of age. But we'll see. Some might grow faster as you said.
@@WindowsillNepenthes Well I still haven't perfected my technique but I am happy to find seeds opening today. Planted Sept 2 and today Sept 30 there are some baby plants. I use a very different technique than you. I will make a video soon but have seeds left over and hope to try your method. I have some older videos showing my pair of a female ventricosa K and a regular no name red male ventricosa.

This reminds me of growing my first sundews from seed.Tiny two leaved sprout with a tiny trap leaf.Now they are dormant right now.When they were still growing the plant were the size of a coin.Growing from seed is a fun little adventure.So I hope you can have fun too! (:
Really interesting video, thanks. I boutht my first nepenthes this past summer (covid therapy...lol) from a local florist (I'm in Ontario, east of Toronto) just a basic plain one and it didn't do much until last fall when I turned a bedroom into a hot room with good LED grow lights and re-potted it, then it really took off. I'd like to try growing some from seed, but not sure who are the reputable seed sellers. Wondering if you could post where/who you got your seeds from as you had an amazing germination rate. Enjoying your videos, thanks for putting them out. :-)
@@WindowsillNepenthes hey good morning 😃 yes I believe so. Mass greenhouse grown for the florist store market is my guess because they are so hardy (tough to kill lol) good for my first one. 😃
Those are nepenthes hybrids. {[(lowii x veitchii) x boschiana] x (northiana x maxima)} but we call them LVB x NM. But really any kind on nepenthes hybrids are good depending on your condition.
I planted 5 different pods in 5 different pots for now theres no sign of germination (20th day) but unfortunately I saw one of the pots had brown seeds I think the seeds got cooked from how hot where I live but you never know maybe atleast 1 will grow. Great video btw!
So exciting every time that make exotics such a surprise for success and granted the losses but depending on the cost, a cup of coffee (I grind my beans et al) for those that have the money (I'd rather bet on life in a seed and the thrill at the start) Have Drosophyllum lusitanicum seeds sprouting (put that in a previous comment that is happening now, so it's kill or cultivate?) Pay the entrance fee, study and see. Haha, I have label printer and never thought to use it? Lots of labels and now instead of using a pencil as they don't fade away or a marker that does, I print out a label for each tab. Wish I had done that 50+ years ago with multi species plants especially Tillandsia that I have hundreds of an don't know one from the other ... special cross, rare et al.
Thank you for doing this video! The most important thing I got out of it is what these seedlings take a long time to grow, and to not panic if nothing happens after 4 weeks. By the way, I can understand that humidity is crucial for seedlings, but what happens when you have larger plants and you want to grow them indoors? My apartment currently has a humidity level of 40 to 50%. Is that ok for Nepenthes adults that start vining?
Thanks for the comment. Around 50% is good for most of the intermediate species. :) If you check my *interview #2* , Ryu have that and his nepenthes grow well.
@@KENTOSI i would say that most intermediate plants (especially hybrids) can be acclimated to lower humidity levels. I used to keep a humidifier next to my N. Miranda but I got tired of having to fill it every day and it’s doing just as good without one now at 50% humidity.

You made your own seeds? That's so cool!
I'm not there yet but I'll follow your steps :)

what a great video! SO entertaining to zoom in and hunt for the seedlings at the different stages, thankyou so much for making this and the effort!
Thanks a lot!
I'll do an update in 4 weeks (8 months after sowing the seeds) ;)
Love the close-up views ... and the funny insert ;-)
Thanks 😊
I had fun doing this video, and plenty of time lol
Amazing
does we need for covered it with dome?
Not if you already have high humidity ;)
subscribed
So tiny and so cute, that magnifier really helped!
I'll show you an update next month ;)
Hey Remy, you mentioned keeping the seedlings around 19-20 C, but do you provide them any temperature change like your mature plants?
I can't provide them the drop temperature, but I also choose intermediate species or hybrids so they are more adaptable.
Nice video good sir. Very nice collections
Thanks!
Do you grow nepenthes?
@@WindowsillNepenthes yes just a few , just started in this new hobby 😊
@@WindowsillNepenthes been using your videos for guidance. Thanks for the uploads

Yes, I like growing from seeds but it teach you patience ;)

Thanks! I'll see what I can do.
Windowsill Nepenthes thanks any help would be appreciated. :-) Here is my little Nepenthes.

looks like a ventricosa or a ventrata?
@@WindowsillNepenthes hey good morning 😃 yes I believe so. Mass greenhouse grown for the florist store market is my guess because they are so hardy (tough to kill lol) good for my first one. 😃
Hello Remy. Are those your seeds, or did you purchase them? Regards
Purchased from a private Facebook group ;)
One day I'll be able to make my own seeds... one day... lol
I just ordered Nepenthes seeds off of Amazon; hopefully they'll grow.
I wish you the best! I never ordered from Amazon so let me know. ;)
Luv z aczent guud stuff!
Where do you get fresh seeds in Canada?
From the forum but mostly from private Facebook groups.
Even eBay but it's more risky I think.
Where do you buy your seeds from? It's quite a struggle to find the.
Contact me on Facebook ;)
What kind are these, I want to buy.
Those are nepenthes hybrids. {[(lowii x veitchii) x boschiana] x (northiana x maxima)} but we call them LVB x NM. But really any kind on nepenthes hybrids are good depending on your condition.
Video so well presented and an inspiration for potential nep fans like me. Looking to the follow up......
Thanks 😊
Thanks mate. Not sure if mine are just weeds. I will get the magnifying glass out.
I planted 5 different pods in 5 different pots for now theres no sign of germination (20th day) but unfortunately I saw one of the pots had brown seeds I think the seeds got cooked from how hot where I live but you never know maybe atleast 1 will grow. Great video btw!
what light level do you grow these small seedlings at - the same as adults or less?
Same light :)
Follow up!? I sowed my Nepenthes seeds yesterday 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
You are right on time!
I'm recording it right now and it will be Monday's video ;)
How are the nepenthes you sowed last year?
@@Ch-4-lie They are good 👍

Hello! Wich led lights did you use on this indoor? PD: I like your videos, thank you!
These lights are led full spectrum. But custom made by a friend so no brand...
@@WindowsillNepenthes ohhh ok! Thank you so much!!!!👏
I wish you could make a similar video but with sundews
I'm not very knowledgeable about them ;)

Yeah asking "What's this?"
