H. parva x sarracenioides

[av8tor1]

Harvested seed of a new hybrid a couple days ago, only got 12....

H. parva x sarracenioides





After seeing the slow progress (or lack of) from the folliculata seed.... Im trying something different and soaking these in 500ppm solution of Gibberellic Acid (source: United Nuclear)
I will also mimic what Crissy did, pure LFS and bagged(1).

fingers crossed

Interesting. Keep us informed about progress.

H. parva x sarracenioides:
10 of 11 seed planted have now germinated


H. [tatei var. neblina x hispida] x unknown
Dozens have sprouted


H. parva x folliculata
3 sprouts so far


No germination yet:
H. folliculata x folliculata
H. tatei x unknown

Most seem to take three weeks to germinate with H. folliculata crosses the slowest so far.

H. [tatei var. neblina x hispida] x unknown seed were probably about half the size of all the others. A very small size is evidently no reason to cull a group of seed.

(BTW the "fuzzies" are a Trichoderma atrovirde product I like to use)

Thanks for looking,

Image taken today,

10 of the original 11 survived and are thriving. They seem to be a robust hybrid and color up easily with moderate lighting.


Thanks for looking,

Ty Coline,

I have high hopes for this hybrid. It's already showing great growth and color characteristics.
Cant wait to see what mature pitchers look like.... and since each seedling is unique, maybe a truly special cultivar will show itself as well.


woot woot
