[strath76]

Thanks David. I bought this as a plant and have only just acquired some Genlisea seed that I am trying to germinate at the moment. From what I have heard and read it can be very difficult to germinate. The seed needs to be fresh as well. I do know a guy that has had success with germinating through TC. Temperature is apparently another important factor. As they are tropical plants they must be kept warm, above 18 degrees from what I can gather. This shouldn't be too much of a problem for you but I have to put mine in the terrarium to keep them warm enough.

Having said this my violacea has grown year round in my outdoor glasshouse that is unheated. Temp's in winter here get down near zero so a lot depends on individual plants as well. I wouldn't try this treatment with any others though as I lost a G. hispidula last winter and this is supposed to be on of the easier species that tolerates the lower temps.

I will let you know if I get any germination from my G. repens seeds. Cheers.
