They seem to sprout rather easily. Make sure not to fry them, is my only concern.

4. Huntsmanshorn I've never tried "long in the tooth" gemmae before. Should be interesting.

Just as a heads up, the pack I sowed due to mold has sprouted and has first carnivorous leaves. It appears to have about a 75% germination rate. This pack that is being given away has no mold, it's just getting on in age.

Only a few hours left.

I am pulling my name out of the giveaway, because I would rather give someone else a chance with the gemmae. Here’s the list now:

I've received them potted in a peat/sand mix, and I've grown them in peat/perlite/LFSM mixes and pure LFSM. They're pretty versatile, but I want to say they did slightly better in the peat/sand mix.

Don't know about hard, but this is my second time growing them. The first time I cooked the gemmae. Here are some links about growing pygmies:

Um, is it time to draw yet?

Patience young Grasshopper, drawing is mid-day, and that's such an ethereal term.

But right about now feels right. CPhunter101, congrats.
Shoot me your address and I'll get these out as soon as I can.

Well, I was number 6. Don't understand what happened there.
