I just finished planting my first sundew seeds ever!!!

The seeds are those of Drosera Intermidia and Drosera Dielsiana(Ruby Slipper)
I have no idea how Steve and Matt can actually count 50 seeds per tube they're so small, too me it looked like 300

In any case I hope I did a good job I guess only time will tell...

I'll upload a picture later of the container I used.

Germination was a good couple of weeks.
about the watering. I didn't use to water so much, but as soon as I started to they all started growing like crazy...
what harm can come from it?

lol' not as common with sundews (root rot) they actually like a wetter media, ive seen pics of them water logged in the wild! so i wouldnt be worried about root rot with Drosera, ive even seen them growing together in the same pot with Utrics!

Hehehe, i flood mine rather than water them

Also, i prefer wetter media as when i blow my Capensis seeds it provides a good germination enviroment no matter what pot they land on

Thanks guys, that's what I've heard and noticed too. the air here is very dry and the top of the soil dries very fast that's why I use to keep them so wet, now that I've stopped the don't as dewy and happy as before.
practice makes perfect with plants.
