Hi All,
I have recently received seeds of Nepenthes lowii and Byblis
gigantea from the ICPS seed bank. I have two quick questions. The first
is, do you recommend keeping highland species like N. lowii in a warm
place for germination? I have a heated terrarium that I could incubate
them in (it's ~80 degrees F). Second, how do people recommend germinating
B. gigantea? If the answer is with giberillin (I remember there was some
discussion about this a while ago), then what concentration do you
recommend and where do you get it? Thanks for any suggestions
