Guess how old they are...

Tropical pitcher plants (Nepenthes hybrids) from seed:

 

[Rick]

I sprouted some US native pitchers once, so my guess is 2 monts.

In general I think Nepanthes are much faster growing than orchids.

12 months?

 

[paphioboy]

I won't reveal the answer yet. The plant in the top pic is 4-5cm across, for size reference.

 

[Kevin]

What kind are they? I'll say 3 months.

 

[Clark]

Going long with 18 months.

 

[tocarmar]

I'll say 1 month!!

2-3 weeks??? What is the potting mix?

 

[paphioboy]

The potting mix is half sphagnum moss and half burnt red earth (sieved to remove dust).

The answer is:

















11 months!

The seeds were planted last December and just sat there for over half a year before emerging above the soil. I planted hundreds of seeds (from 6 pods, 2 different crossings). One is a veitchii hybrid and the other is an unknown Cambodian species (sp. tiger) hybrid..
