Default Re: Drosera seed raising mix and germination rate.

Hi

Thanks for the letter.

I initially thought that boiling water could be used. That would be simpler than lighting a fire. The seeds could be sprinkled on the surface of the peat in the pot and boiling water could then be carefully poured on to the surface. Could that work well?

However, the reason why I did not suggest this before is because of the page I read at http://www.rarexoticseeds.com/droser...m_store=french

It states “The seeds require 6 weeks hot stratification.”

So fire or boiling water may not be a long enough time.

Your help is appreciated,
Regards Richard.
