I have a couple packs of d. intermedia seeds on the way, and i have a couple questions if someone experienced with d. intermedia could answer them! After i stratify it will probably be about mid-august. Should i germinate them outside and let the tiny seedlings go dormant with the rest of the plants, giving them some protection? Or should i germinate them under lights and KEEP them inside under lights until spring? I don't want them to get too out of cycle, so i want to do it the way that makes the most sense as far as keeping them in sync with nature. OR...should i hold on to the seeds (keep them in the fridge?) and sow them outside around Feb. and let them "naturally" stratify? Help? I tried some of these last year (but not from here, these seeds are from the Flytrap Store!) and they turned out to be the Cuban variety lol. Most of them died but i still have one tiny one that is in a hibernacula lol. :mrgreen:

you should grow them under lights.
