Hello all,
I wanted to know if I could germinate drosera seeds without a grow light(as I don't have one),but in a windowsill?I have heard that you can use sunlight,but i don't know if it was meant as windowsill(indirect),or outdoors(direct).Surely they didn't mean direct outdoors sun,as that would cook the ziploc set up!Anyways,I would like to know how to grow drosera(tropical)without a grow light and If i can do it on a windowsill.
Have a good one,
Max

What a coincidence;I was going to use capes and spats to test it!How was your success rate with a windowsill?

Is it possible for a window to get direct sun?I thought direct sun was only outdoors sun,no filters such as a window.Oh well,maybe I am wrong.

Well your correct so i guess i mean "Direct Sunlight Indoors", but if you are that technical you would have to leave the atmosphere for direct sun =p

But even then, it’s possible not to get direct sun.
