So when my S. alabamensis, oreophilia, and jonesii seeds didn't sprout, I was sad.
But I came up with an idea!
I put them all in my big outdoor pot with a S. jonesii seedling.
Now they'll get a second stratification, and any seedlings will be really strong because of the harsh conditions.
Is this smart, or did I just waste my seeds?

Well, if they haven't already germinated, it can't be a waste can it?
I've tried this before, and it's worked...

Oh, and by the way, harsh? You live in Texas dude! If S. Alata can grow there, then any Sarracenia can

It's just to live they'll have to survive 100+ degree temps!
The S. alata are just 2 counties over. That is the furthest west population.
It's just ill have to water then a ton.
Thanks for te encouragement!

Well, even in my summer I keep mine in tray of water, about an inch or so high.
In the greenhouse is got to 104.F Regularly. I was misting plants a lot, mostly to stop what Pinguicula i have from frying.

You may want to cover the seedlings with some shade, to stop them crisping up.
