My red form seedlings were lost to a combination of red mites and treatment.
My contempt towards the introduction of this pest is paramount.

I went over every plant that I own with a 10,000x magnifying glass. Everything but my cephs have been infested. Sorry dont mean to clutter this thread with complaint.

I heard dish liquid in a very week mix with pure water might help or is this one of the many myths appearing online??

...here's an update of my 'botched batch' of Darlingtonia seeds. They actually seem to be doing quite well and are growing MUCH faster than all of my other CP seedlings.....time will tell... View AttachmentNot sure if this is erroneous but, I think those may be Sarracenia seedlings. The seeds that they sprouted from does not have the "spikes" darlingtonia seeds have and lack the long nose-like thing the seedlings have. Nevertheless, great job germination them!

I take back what I said, I saw amanitovirosa's earlier post, the seeds look exact. Sorry guys, still somewhat a" noob" here.

...I have no routine, this is a batch of Cobras that was never meant to be. I just use the tray method here, that's all. No top watering whatsoever. The ones in my greenhouse are on the floor and the original batch were just under lights (I put them outside just a couple of days ago). No ice cubes, no chilled water, just the regular water that all my other plants get. Actually, looking at the larger ones, the red ones, I'm not even sure they are Cobras at all, so who knows....Cheers!

That's some very nice growing there, but the three red ones in the pot are Sarracenia.
In your second pic above, I believe you have one Darlingtonia seedling growing into the moss above the other sarr seedlings in that picture.
Darlingtonia seedlings will have that telltale "snuffaluffagus" snout that others here have mentioned.
On my seedlings, I've found that once the snout comes in contact with the media surface, it acts as a ramp leading springtails right up into the pitchers.
The young seedling pitchers with their ramps down( ie. their snuffaluffagus snouts are touching the media), all have a darkening at the bases of their tiny pitchers, from the springtails or other critters captured.

...yeah, I don't think they're Cobras either. I had Sarrs and Cobras stratifying in the same container divided in half, then everything went to crap and washed away. Probably the seeds got mixed up so now I don't know what I have, but I do have something. Happy Growing!

Yup I agree Darr seedlings have a long snout like snufalupagus, so Ya you a least have 1 daralingtonia !
