I found out that since i'm gonna use full LFS100% i'm gonna have to chope it so that when i transplant the seedlings the long threads of LFS will not affect the roots of some other seedlings.Also the media MUST be algae free or not the seeds will die and blacken.I never saw any threads started by you in those i searched haha must be somewhere just didn't find it

N. sanguinea seedlings

Hi Ali,

I used dry sphagnum, chopped and then misted. I guess they would germinate on 'soil' but it seems like the sphagnum is used more often because it tends to hold and transfer the moisture to the seeds more evenly than 'soil'...at least that's MY guess! It's really important not to let them dry out completely for even an hour or two once they have been hydrated

Whoops, I guess the rest were on the "old" PP forum site! Sorry about that! But I think you have the idea already...the hardest part is just "doing it"! (and remembering to mist them without letting them dry out). Good luck!

Here's 1 or 2 links, not the best ones but what I could remember in short time;
