Default Re: Drosera seed raising mix and germination rate.

Hi

Thanks for the letter. Do you think pure peat on the surface could be a disadvantage over a mix with sand? Bear in mind if I used pure peat on the surface, I would have a mix of coarse sand and peat underneath the top layer of pure peat that could be about 1cm thick.

I thought the advantage of using pure peat on the surface is that it would save making up a special mix of peat and fine sand. Also it could be possible that a small Drosera seed could land on a larger piece of sand and not get enough moisture.

Your help will be appreciated,
Regards Richard
