FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Another member on this forum has taken a foray into Sarrs and has collected seed from his plants that he had won in a giveaway. Even though I had said that I have grown, and am currently growing, Sarrs, I have never tried seeds.
He wants to try seeds, but is feeling a bit overwhelmed, and wants to do it right to give the seeds the best possible chance at becoming big, healthy plants.
Is there a best time to plant these seeds? Do the seeds require stratification? Is a peat/perlite mix or pure sphagnum mix best?
Any help you can send his way will be appreciated.

If starting indoors, any time of year is fine.
If outdoors, sow seeds in fall or early winter.
Stratification - Yes. Approximately 30 days.
Peat/perlite/sand or LFS both work fine as growing media. I currently use both and don't really notice a difference. If you're referring to stratification medium, peat and LFS also work, but i use wet paper towels.

Here's some reading material that covers the basics. If he has more questions, feel free to post them here or PM me.
