Hi

I had an idea for the heat treatment of Drosera Peltata. The seed could be sown in a pot and the soil wet in the middle of summer. It could then be sealed in a plastic bag to retain moisture and the pot could be left out in full sun so that the seeds and soil gets hot. It could be left there for about 6 weeks. Then the pot could be moved into a greenhouse where the pot is taken out of the plastic bag and put in a ventilated terrarium until the seeds germinate. It could stand in a tray of water. Then it could be taken out of the terrarium and the pot could stand in a tray of water in the greenhouse or in some full autumn sun. Do you think that could be a good idea?

For the other seeds listed in my earlier question above, would the best time to sew them be in spring? Do any of the others require special treatment apart from Drosera Filiformis that requires stratification?

Do you think all these seeds would grow well if they are sown in pure peat moss on the surface with a mixture of peat and sand underneath the peat layer?

Your help is appreciated,
Regards Richard.
