Hey everyone,
I stratified some sarracenia seeds last night and I plan on leaving them outside to stratify during the winter. I checked them this morning and the media was frozen! Do you think they will be okay? Or should I worry? I have a lot more seeds that I will fridge stratify but I wanted to experiment with leaving them outside. They are in the plastic storage container, I nailed large cut up plastic bags to protect them from the wind/ snow /rain. Please let me know your thoughts ! Thank you!!

Not sure I understand exactly...stratification is a process that most people do for 4 weeks or more with seeds. Did you just put them into stratification last night? Or were they in stratification for 4 weeks and you took them out?

Had the seeds started germinating yet? If not, I'm sure they'll be fine. If the seeds had already started germinating, the freeze might have killed the tiny plants, but I couldn't say for sure.

If they are seeds and you only put them outside the day it froze, they will be fine.
Cheers
Steve
