There's a great article on germinating P. Grandiflora here:
http://www.carnivorousplants.org/seedba ... ldTemp.htm

I would suggest putting them in a pot and keeping that in the shade; as far as I understand P. Grandiflora seeds and plants need to be kept cold to survive.

I'm judging by the article that the seeds don't need a terrarium to germinate. I'd suggest sticking them outside in some shade. You can always put them under an artifical light but I think they need cooler temperatures than other seeds to germinate.

Connor just stick em' outside, they'll be fine, they like cool shady conditions
