FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi all! I’m new to this forum (so hello!), and have recently gotten my first pack of D. capensis seeds! I thought I’d start a sort of journal here so I could ask for help along the way, and see if I’m setting things up properly. I have just planted my seeds today, and it was really difficult considering their size . Here’s some pictures of my current setup:



I have them in a pot that’s about a little over 2 by 2 inches in area of soil. Below it, I have it sitting in a tray of distilled water. The soil is peat moss mixed with some perlite, and finally I have the whole thing covered with a bag (and sitting inside of a greenhouse) to keep humidity in (I sprayed the seeds and soil first with water). I really hope these seeds germinate!

Also, how much sunlight should I give them when starting off? I currently have them in a window where they receive bright, indirect light.

Here's a grow guide I wrote several years ago.
Take a look and see if there's any useful information in it for you.

Thanks for the guide ^^^

The day has come! All of my seeds are finally beginning to germinate! I looked this morning and thought it could have been some moss or something, but after taking a closer look I realized it was a bunch of tiny seedlings:




I’ll probably have to space them out since I planted way too many for this pot
