I got some seeds from Adam a long, long time ago from a land far away (Canada), and I'm still pondering on what I should do. Is there any guide for growing seeds? They are D. Capensis. Also, will they germinate? They are pretty old by now.

Keep in mind that the older the seed, the less likely to germinate, but Capensis are really easy to grow. Just sprinkle over a pot of peat and perlite, keep it moist and in sun, and seedlings will germinate in a week or 2. Good luck!

Thanks! But where do I get such a small amount of carnivorous plant mix?

Do you have peat and perlite? Yu can get some at a local nursery or online. I just store a big bag of it and use it whenever I need to fill up a new pot. It pays to buy in bulk too, saves $$$
