Either use the middle one or just get the Peat Moss and mix with 50% coarse sand. Ensure the sand is washed. Depending on where the sand has come from it could have salts or other minerals mixed in with it.

As for the stratification. I put the seeds and soil mix in a zip lock bag and put them in the fridge. The time you are using is fine. The mix should be moist enough that when squeezed water comes out, and when released it is absorbed again.

As for the Drosera you can sow them any time you like. The only consideration on how many to a pot is the ease/difficulty of potting them up when they have germinated. I would just try to space them so that you can take each one out individually to pot up later. You could of course plant them like a carpet and just let them grow that way.

Dont' worry about the questions. That's what the forum's for. Cheers.
