Default Re: Drosera seed raising mix and germination rate.

Hi Richard. Just mix the sand and peat together. I mix at a rate of 50:50. Sprinkle the seed on this and they will be growing in no time. Germination rate depends on a number of factors and it is generally easier to sprinkle some on the surface and separate later. Especially due to the small size of the seed. Capensis grows like a weed for me and many others.

Peltata may need some heat treatment or GA3 whereas the filiformis requires stratification to get good germination. You should get good germination from the ones you have listed there. They are all fairly good growers that don't require a lot of care to get going.
