Nepenthes veitchii JB x {Song of Melancholy x [(lowii x veitchii) x boschiana]} - clone 1 -Seed Pod Type:seed pod Nepenthes hirsuta is a BorneanEach pod usually contains 15 30 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
