Before you read any further, let me say that this is about me posting my setup ideas for growing sundews from seeds. If you are expecting pictures of baby sundews, then sorry to disappoint you.
About a week ago, I bought Drosera Regia seeds from a reputable seller on eBay (someone on here suggested them). I have not recieved them yet, but I want to make sure my ideal setup is good, so that they don't end up dying. I have a plastic terrarium (which I will post a picture of later), similar to that of the miracle gro starter kits. I won't be using any of the plant food or soil that came with the terrarium, for obvious reasons.
I read somewhere that I should keep them inside under a light, and the seeds themselves sitting on top of watered-down peat moss. Is this correct? It says they should germinate after a week or two, and after a month or so, I should begin to slowly begin to adjust them to the sun.
Is that pretty much what I should do? After the disaster of trying to grow sarracenia from seed, I'm very skeptical about trying to grow plants from seeds again. Like I said earlier, I'll post a picture of the terrarium I want to use, but if it turns out not to be feasible, I am able to buy another one.
Thanks in advance, guys, and have a good one.
