bigphil1984 Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Hi everyone, I just ordered some sarracenia purpurea seeds. Do they need cold stratification? And what the best way, soil mix and time of year to germinate them? Any help appreciated. Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picol Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Hi, usually sarracenias seeds needs cold stratification. I store them in the fridge untill january. As potting mix you can do the typical peat-perlite, and keep them in full sun. Usually they germinate in april-may. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picol Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 I know that some growers here in Italy and on the forum found that is possible the germination of Darlingtonia seeds, keeping them in fridge for few weeks and sowing them in a terrarium. This is the link of the thread: But i don't if it works for sarracenias too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linuxman Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 A lot of us sow sarracenia seeds over Christmas/New Year and leave them in the greenhouse to let Winter do its work. I do the same for darlingtonia as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Star Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Like Martin I sow mine direct in the greenhouse on 1st Jan and then leave them to do their own thing and they have always germinated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
