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? Slowly picking up again. Been busy and slowing down posting in forums. Indoor germination - artificial PLL lighting inside an empty aquarium. I put spagnum moss inside a tray and keep the tray wet. So far not very good result.

Advice from friendly guy : "Ok what u have to do to get a lot of germiantion with D. burmanni: use a mixture of 1:1, peat, sand. put the pot in Full Sun, and standing in a tray full of rainwater. Next, spray the inside of a re-sealable bag with some rainwater, then cover the entire pot with it(up to the tray) and keep reffiling the tray whenever the water level gets low. Germination can take 4 weeks or so. 1) it needs sun 2) it needs some (not alot, just a crack I think) air circulation Plenty of sun, humidity and water"

All my burmanii plantlets had die today .Just change them into larger pot last weak, and I found that they stop growing after repot, and all the leafs turn brown and die. Maybe they get shock when I repot them.

Hope you don mind sharing what you did when you repotted them and what you did after you repotted them? Water, humidity, media, etc? Perhaps the "sifu-sifu" here can help find out what went wrong.

Yup, I think most of the seeds had germinated. Before I repot them, they grow on 100% sphagnum moss, water them using RO water every day. Place it under direct sunlight, direct rain and they looks very healthy gives me alot of dews, but the s.moss was very smelly after a while, so I change them into 1 part peat moss and 1 part perlite, the condition same, then they die.

Sorry to hear that Bifurcatum. I dont know the real reason for the death of your Burmanii, but perhaps i think they got shocked and a bit dehydrated. As for my sundews and pings, after i repotted them, i will put them under shade for 1-2 days, or cover the pot with a plastic bottle until they get stable, before putting them back under sun. May your burmanii be happy at the CP heaven..

ooh, quickly save it and provide humidity to the plant. It still has any chance to survive.

Just mist it with RO water, cover it using a clear plastic container and put it under shade. Hope it can recover.
