FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hey guys!

I recently bought P. vulgaris seeds from one Kamil Pasek of BestCarnivorousPlants.com. Can anyone vouch as to the viability of the seeds his nursery provides? Also, does he store seeds in cold strat, so that when they do arrive, I can just sow them straight away? I've emailed him to clarify, but I'm sure he's busy.

Anyways, I'm planning on sowing them in a mix of 2:1 of peat:sand. I know they can grow on both acidic and alkaline soil, but I'm going to go with acidic, unless anyone can really vouch for alkaline soil. I'm going to put some saran wrap overtop, with a few holes to allow for some fresh air and high but not saturated RH, and to keep it cool in the sun. I'm going to put them in bright direct sunlight during the day, and really try to cool them down overnight, to about 7 degrees C. I'm going to let them sit in a tray with 1/4" at all times.

I'm hoping to get a high rate of success with this. If anyone thinks I'm making a mistake, or if they can suggest a standard that works to a high degree, let me know. This is my first time sowing and CP seeds, so I'll keep everyone updated

Thanks for reading
