I just received a pack of Sarracenia, drosera aliciae, drosera capensis, dionae muscipula and akai Ryu seeds
As it is early spring soon will they require stratification and if so what is the best way to stratify them?
Thanks

The Sarracenia seeds need stratification.
The others do not.

Some people roll up seeds in a damp paper towel, then ziploc bag it and put it in the refrigerator for 4 - 6 weeks.

Others put the seeds in pots of media, then put the pots in a cold place for the required time.

You can also toss the seeds in a test tube, halfway filled with distilled water and chill it for the same period. I shake my test tubes every day for a few seconds to agitate them.

After reading that Sarracenia naturally winter stratify outside, in the wild, I have my Sarracenia stratifying outside in large trays. I am testing different growing medium. If it works properly, and it should, the seeds will germinate well after the last frost.
