So I heeded the forum's advice and chose some easy tuberous sundews to start with. However, I don't really know anything about sowing the seeds I'm getting. They are easy peltata complex sundews. Does anyone have any experience with sowing this group of sundews? E.g. Sowing time, treatment of the seeds, temperature and lighting, etc.

Thanks, and happy Thanksgiving!

tuberous Drosere grow quite fast and should be fed often. I sowed D. auriculata seeds quite late (In March). Theh germinated in April and I fed them practically every other day. They flowered in June and went dormant when I stopped watering them in July. I don't think you should skip dormancy with tuberous Drosera.

Thanks, DroseraFan! I had already checked out the links beforehand but was just wondering whether it was necessary to sow them in autumn.
