I'm no expert at getting sundew seeds to grow, but my luck with drosera seeds has been minimal with sphagnum and nonexistant with peat. Good luck, whatever you do.

I would say, if you have peat moss, just throw them on top and wait for them to germinate, in my opinion it is easier to germinate seeds in peat moss and not in Sphagnum moss. But that's just my opinion.

Good luck!

I have observed that when germinating in sphagnum peat the seedlings produce carnivorous leaves on their second set. However for the one's germinated in sphagnum moss, let's just say that it's been over 2 months and the seedling has yet to produce any carnivorous leaves

. (I am absolutely POSITIVE it is a sundew seedling.)
