Hi,

I have harvested some fresh Cephalotus seeds from one of my flowering Cephalotus. I did the same thing last year. The difference is that last year I harvested seeds in Autumn. So upon sowing directly in Autumn, a natural stratification period followed during the winter period (I keep my Cephalotus cold during winter). I now have a Summer harvest!
Should I sow them directly or should I give a cold stratification for 8 weeks in the fridge before sowing them?

Regards,

Youri

Read this article: http://www.carnivorousplants.org/seedba ... alotus.htm There is an experiment on stratification near the bottom of the page.
