Awesome! That is one species that I've been interested in for a long time. Were seeds easy to sprout for you?

Hey, when you're able to get seed from them (the byblis), would you like to do a trade? Or if you have any extra you don't want. I'm looking for the perennial seeds.

I had 10 seeds, 2 have sprouted so far, but it only happened recently. I have hope that I'll get at least 2 or 3 more. I left them outside starting during a bad heatwave based on a suggested heat stratification from one of Hartmeyer's posts. If you don't get the hot and dry period outdoors you might try an easy bake oven tuned to around 110° F. A kitchen oven with the light on only should work too, just don't forget about them when you preheat for your next holiday meal.

I've been experimenting with it. I have another thread where I go into more detail, but it seems that the stuff on ebay is a salt rather than the acid, the ppm readings will be off but the hormone will still work. 1g will last a while if properly stored if you want to get the research grade stuff but it's probably not necessary.
