Early this year a bunch of us received some seeds with the compliments of Robert. How successful are guys with the germination of the seeds?
I am quite a lazy fella. On the 1st of this month, I soaked up some sphagnum moss, placed them in a round take-away food container (those from tau-ful-fa) and then sprinkled my share of the seeds into the container, closed the lid and place the container in my laundry area (receives morning sun).
Over the (CNY) week, I open the lid every morning to see if there is any growth. Actually, it is quite hard to see, given that the sphagnum moss are also green. This evening after scrutinised the contents for 15 minutes with a magnifying glass, I am very confident that at least three germinations have taken place. WOW.
David, anymore seeds to give away?

Wah bifurcatum, they are really cute!  Btw, all of u seems to germinate seeds using sphagnum moss. Ever tried peat moss before? is there any difference in probability of the seeds to germinate in using sphagnum moss to peat moss? |

Next time I will try using peat moss. From one of the ebay sundew seeds seller, he recommended a mixture of 60:40 ratio of sand to peat moss to grow his seeds.

David, cover the pot with a piece of cling film to increase the humidity. At least that worked for me.

I did that. I seperated the seeds into 3 pots. One totally covered and another open under growlights and anotehr in a terrarium. All three post showed no sigh of germination |

I used a plastic container to sow the seeds, and I kept the sphagnum moss very wet until water is visible, then covered the container with a piece of cling film.

Ok, I think I know what's my problem now. Humidity not high enough. Shall need to do that from now on for higher rate of germination. Thanks for the picture TS

My report card
==========
I separated my seeds into 2 pots with separate way of germination. This is for my own experiment.
1) Indoor germination - no sign, doesn't look like it will change anytime
2) Semi Outdoor balcony germination - > 10 plantlets germinated, didn't keep count exactly.
Looks like my indoor germination failed miserably. Only the hardier ones like sarra seeds germinated 1 out of 10 seeds. Low yield so far. Need to improve or full scale No. 2 way germination.

Hi Isaac,
Glad to see you write again in the forum. Not been hearing from you. For indoor germination was it placed under artificial lights or just in the house?
