calek Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hey everybody! My dad just got me some seeds in Sydney and is bringing them back soon. Now I dont really know in which type of pot I should plant all the seeds in (shape, size, etc). The seeds are of the species Sarracenia and Dionaea. Also if there is any particular mehtod of sowing these seeds that is very successful with you guys please tell it to me, I will be really grateful. Well...as I'm sure you can see I'm in a bit of a rush... So Bye and thanks! -Calek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimscott Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I would put them in saturated pots of LFS and either start them outside or under artificial lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimfoxy Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I can't really say for your conditions in Columbia. Here in the UK I would sow the seeds on the surface of a sphagnum peat based compost (maybe with some sand) in December. Pot not really important but larger plastic pots need watering less frequently than small plastic pots or seed trays. Clay pots are not generally used due to possibility of minerals leaching in from the pot (and they dry out quicker). Planting in December and then putting the seeds in an outside cool greenhouse exposes them to frosts for stratification. Germination in the greenhouse then occurs in Spring. Not sure how you mimic these conditions in Columbia. Maybe put them with some moist sphagnum in a sealed bag in the fridge for a couple of months and then sow in conditions the same as you treat the adults. Good luck!
