Where are you growing your seedlings? My typical capes that I got a while ago are suffering on the windowsill (possibly because the days are short and they aren't getting enough light).

They are leaf cuttings. I have never had problems with too little light. In fact there has been no sunlight recently, as it's been raining for 2 weeks.

I have around 60 sarracenia flava seeds stratifying. I hope I get some interesting hybrids from them seeing that they were Open Pollinated. Thanks Panman

They may be interesting, or not. At the same time there were 2 flava varieties, purpurea, Judith Hindle, and psitacinna flowering. There were about a dozen of the flava flowers. So I took all of the seeds for the flavas and combined them together to get the best chance of getting some variety. I have kept them separate for myself so I can see which pod produced what seedlings. They are still too small to know anything but I've got a bunch growing.

I'm doing this. The problem is that the seedlings have to be big enough to get the Maxsea inside. Capillary action keeps it from getting down into the pitchers of the smallest seedlings. Once they are big enough to get the needle, they are getting filled with a 1/2t per gallon solution.

That's what I noticed too. I think I just need a very thin needle, like the ones use for injecting people. :?: That way I can get the needle down deeper into the pitcher.

I will start: 1 or 2 weeks ago I got a healthy venus flytrap from IKEA with 3 divisions. The traps close fast but she is not dormant so I will move her to the garage. She is next to my window at the moment. Here is a picture:
It looks like there's a fused tooth trap in there
