Nepenthes Trusmadiensis BE clone 1 x edwardsiana- Seed Pod

Nepenthes Trusmadiensis BE clone 1 x edwardsiana.  The edwardsiana used in this cross is Predatory Plant's plant called "Empire". Photo courtesy of Robin Hirst.

This is for 10 seeds. We can't guarantee germination since we have never grown this cross out but we have inspected all pods and they have obviously viable-looking embryos.

Nepenthes seeds are best sown on a layer of milled sphagnum moss or well leached coco peat above a more traditional Nepenthes mix.  They should be kept in a moderately well lit area (50-100 ppfd).  The seeds need to be kept wet and humid in the 60-80 temperature range and will usually germinate in 4-8 weeks.  

Seed was harvested in late July 2023. We've tested up to 6 months for successful germination, but there may be longer germination times. The number of seeds that will germinate may be less as they get older.
