FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi members. I'm want to buy these seeds for me, As I understand most of the species requires the same care? Is it difficult to germinate the seeds?

I currently own a VFT and a D. Capensis, and I think they're doing good so far (Only got them a week ago)

Growing most carnivorous plants from seed is a long and challenging process. For the first 2 or 3 years they're extremely small. Most sundews grow faster, but Dionaea and Sarracenia take at least 3 years to reach maturity and usually 5 to 6 years.

Germination isn't usually that hard if the seed is fresh. Sarracenia require at least a 4 week cold, wet stratification. Dionaea seed should be planted as soon as you get it.

Good luck if you get them!

Hi everyone. I just sowed the following deeds: Fly Traps, Mixed Sarracenia (In the fridge now), Mixed Drosera, D. Hilaris, D. Cistiflora and D. Aliciae. Now I'm waiting, yeah
I got some more plants a while ago too. I now have 3 VFT's, 1 D. Capensis and 1 S. Judith Hindle

Oh yes another thing, once they germinated. Can I remove the bags and place them with my other plants outside? or will this be too warm and dry in the sun?
Thanks in advance.

No! I'm cold stratifying the Saracenia seeds in the fridge...
