SASE received.
Order fulfilled.
Return envelope going out in tomorrow's mail.
Thank you for your order.

By the way, you're getting a bonus in that seed pack.
The original seeds were harvested in Autumn of 2016.
(Aliciae seeds are viable for several years, stored in fridge)
I harvested some fresh aliciae seeds today.
I threw in a whole seed pod, 50 - 100 seeds from todays harvest into the same seed packet.
These should germinate in 4 weeks or less under good conditions.

Good growing,
Mike

Recieve today and oh my... That's a lot of seed. Good thing i bought the 72 cell seed tray. I can see how these plants can become weeds. Can't wait! I'll have sticky red plants every where :)

If I counted right there are more than 500 Image

4 to 6 weeks is the average germination time.
Too early to get worried or concerned.
If they don't sprout after 8 weeks, I'll send you some more, freshly harvested from my plants.

Good growing,
Mike

Thank you. I have pitcher plant from 5 months I still haven't given up on yet. I put it back in the fridge incase the first time was too short. Just trying to keep algae at bay on all my seeds.

Sorry they didn't germinate.
Send me another SASE, I have fresh D. aliciae seeds from 2018 if you want to try again.

Good growing,
Mike
