Billybob Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hello everyone! One of my VFT's is just about to flower and when ive pollinated it and collected the seed (assuming everything goes according to plan!) do you have to sow the seed into a moist pot, and then stratify the seed in a refigirator for four weeks? Or do you sow the seed straight onto soil, and place in sunlight? Any comments gratefully recevied :) Omar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aidan Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Seed is best sown fresh and will soon germinate. Stratification is not required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billybob Posted May 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Thats great - as soon as i obtain the seed (if i do) ill sow it straight into sphagnum peat moss. Thanks, Omar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Thanks for this information. I'm hoping to gain some seed from my flowering VFT as well. Is there any pictures of what the seeds look like? or any direction they should be placed into the soil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim A Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Vft seeds should be just pressed onto the surface of the peat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 wow Dave2150, thanks for those pictures. It was exactly what I was looking for. Especially, this one: http://necps.org/images/20030517-CP-D.musc...eed%20heads.jpg thanks Tim A, it sounds like the direction doesn't matter, and that the seeds are not actually buried.
