Hello,

I just received a plantlet of the specie and seeds but I don't know anything about growing this sundew to maturity or germinating it. I need help on the on the following topics:

1) What media it's prefer? How moist should I keep the media

2) How much humidity?

3) Temperature

4) Lighting/Photoperiod

5) Dormancy? How long?

6) Propagation Techniques

7) Sowing of seeds? Stratification? Increasing germination success

Thank you all very much :mrgreen:

I still don't know how to germinate the seeds and what type of stratification should be done to germinate faster.

D. glanduligera , wow what a plant to germinate , you picked one of the hardest plant to grow there !! I live where they are native in our foot hills and i live on the plains here and i can not get them to germinate not 20 min drive from my home ?? there little rat bags to grow !! they like it cool to mild weather , day temps about 10 to 15 c , night 5 to 10 c , love full winter sun , humidity is low only 40 to 60 % they live in clay loam soils quite sandy , and grow best at above 500m above sea level and below 1000m short range !!
