Rob, haven't done Nepenthes seed lately, but in the past have found that it
germinates better on Sphagnum rather than peat. also i've found that they
don't always germinate esp. fast, and would suggest that you hang on to the
pots 6 or 8 months as i've regularly had them take that long to germinate.
tom's been really good about keeping the seed fresh so i doubt that's the
problem.from the rest of your conditions all looks ok so all i can suggest is
the infamous "P" word,
Patience , good luck
