Do they have cultivar parentage? They look great!

Does the spray get on the sphagnum, and if so is that a bad thing? I was trying to figure out how to get some diluted maxsea onto some of my smaller drosera, other than a dropper pipette.

I really can't say. I am new to the Maxsea thing. The only negatives I can see of getting it on the moss is that it might encourage algae or cause the moss to grow faster than the seedlings. In either case, I think I should be able to manage it.

Your sphagnum looks remarkably clean! I think I killed some of my VFT seedlings with Maxsea. A bunch of algae grew around them and they rotted.

I use a hypodermic needle (like the kind you use for street drugs or insulin) and place tiny droplets on the leaves. I'm not an expert though (see above post).
