What is the consensus on the medium used for temperate sundews during cold stratification? I have heard a regular damp paper towel works, but some say damp sphagnum moss. What works for y'all? Or does it really even matter? Thanks.

I stratify my temperate Drosera seeds in distilled water.
Toss seeds into a test tube.
Label it and fill it halfway with distilled water.
Store it in the refrigerator for 2 - 3 months.
Pull from fridge.
You can let the seeds germinate in the test tube or you can dump the seeds into a pot of media.

Just my 02¢ worth.
