Hey guys, I was wondering whether I should stratify sundew seeds since the seeds are fresh. And if I do need to stratify them, how do I do that since the seeds are so small.

What species are you sowing? Some need stratification and some don’t.

It depends on the species, as KK said. The (sub)tropicals that are common in cultivation don’t require any stratification, but the temperate ones do.

I’ve had good luck stratifying sundews by filling a small container with distilled water and putting the seeds in the water.
