dear listmembers,
it was my first (successful) try to germinate some N. madagascariensis seed
(which were sent to me for free by a nice listmember - thank you, Jos!)
last september / october. seed were sown on pure live sphagnum germinated
after 4-6 weeksand the plants are growing since then in a propagation tray,
26\260 C (78\260 F) all the time,
under fluorecent light 14 hours a day, using deionized water only.
most of the plants are sprouting out their 4th pitcher bearing leaf,
very small, palish green in colour, some slightly red below the peristome.
they seemed to do well so far.
but now it seems to me as if the colour is getting *too* palish green....
is this quite usual? or is it a sign to change growing conditions?
anyone on with experience in bringing up Nepenthes seedlings?
any helpful comment would be highly appreciated.
thanks in advance
Andi
