Germination tips:
If you are new to carnivorous plants, use ONLY distilled water / reverse osmosis or rainwater.
1. Make sure the peat moss has no added fertilizer and is as clean as possible.
2. Gently sprinkle the seeds on a washed and evenly moist layer of peat, do not cover them.
Optional: Lightly mist 3% hydrogen peroxide to reduce risk of fungus growth and provide oxygen to seeds.
4. Provide a warm temperature for the seeds, 19°C – 26°C (66°F – 79°F)
5. The seeds will need regular lighting to germinate, 6 – 12 hours a day under artificial light is recommended.
6. Keep the peat evenly moist (NOT soggy) throughout the germination period
7. Seeds should start to germinate in 2-5 weeks when conditions are right. Please be patient.
8. Avoid: Over-watering from above, drastic temperature/humidity changes, sun exposure, fertilizer
9. If you plan to sow the seeds later, it is best to store them in your refrigerator at 2°C – 5°C (35°F – 41°F)
