FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Someone I did a plant trade with online sent a surprise of sarr seeds. I'm positive the seeds have not been stratified -- they are far too clean and dry for that. So, should I try to 1) sow them anyway and see if they germinate, 2) stratify them for 6 weeks and try to start them in July (keeping in mind I live in the Great White North where our growing season is pretty much done by the end of August/beginning of September), or 3) store them in the fridge and begin the stratification process this next fall/winter. In case it matters, they are of an open pollinated cross with the pod parent being minor Okee Giant Yellow River.

Seedling - 2 year old sarrs can thrive in a terrarium according to the ICPS website. I know I'm too impatient personally to wait to plant them hahaha.

If you had lights to put them under then you could stratify and sow them then bring them in for the winter. I started mine during the winter and moved them out this spring. I will probably bring half of them in next winter as an experiment.

If inside isn't an option then they will be fine in the fridge until fall and then into a pot and outside for the winter.
