Sarracenia seedlings and seed cold stratification

[Labine]

How old are the seedlings?
Nice seedlings

 

[Jbron]

They're just over a year old, sown in mid February.
Thanks!

I have to put my seedlings out this summer permanently. I really enjoy seeing them grow. There all different and just as nice

Wow this took a big jump in the last few weeks. I'm really loving the veins, just wish it would stay this small.

I threw a bunch of Sarr seed in my microbogs last fall. Now there are dozens of seedlings coming up.

I like the lack of effort, I’m a lazy gardener

I just figured out that these guys are 7 months old! Great seeds @Lloyd Gordon!

Somewhat updated pic of this seedling, pitchers are pushing over a foot tall. One of its siblings in the back ground, goes deep red in the throat and underside of the lid from the oreophila influence? I could be wrong.

Nice seedling, that cross has great potential.

Hi everyone, I started some seeds in October 12 and they are growing nicely.

I stratified them in the fridge in wet paper towel and forgot them there for 3 months + and thought they would not germinate but most of the seeds have come out.

I had to buy a humidity dome with T5HO lighting to raise them. Put all in peat with a bit of perlite. I also had to buy a heat mat because temperature was 18C in my house. I leave the light on 24/7 and will skip dormancy for the first 2 years.

I read about fertilizing them with MaxSea so I bought some and will start to spray them with 1/4 tsp per gallon solution every week or fill the pitchers when they have some.

Anything else I could do?

Here are some pics of them, Areolata Medowview White Knight OP, and Leucophila alba OP:

It's really strange what can come out of a sarracenia genetics because leucophylla "Colossus" is quite colorful and Adrian Slack as well, but this one look more like a HCW than both of its parents and it's mostly white. Very interesting! Raising sarracenia is not boring because it's always a surprise what they will look like. Some are banals, some are exceptional and deserve to be registered. Yours might be very much worthy of registration!

Great result!

Yea, I've been learning that growing from seed. Depending on how complex the cross is, will show a greater variation in the seedlings. We'll see how it grows outside next year, see if it keeps its "alba"esque pitchers. If it gains a lot of popularity in the future who knows, may deserve registration. But for now, it fills in my want of a fairly decent white top in my collection.
