Nepenthes {Song of melancholy x [(lowii x veitchii) x boschiana]} x veitchii 'sunburst', CAR-1188 - SEED PODThis is a single seed pod. We can't guarantee germination 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
