stratification

I have gotten my grubby hands on seeds of D. trinervia, D. hilaris, D. cistiflora, and D. pauciflora. While I can find information on how to cultivate them, and have grown some of them in the past, I can't find ifo on when to actually plant the seed/does it need a hot-dry stratification...

Drosera anglica 'Hawaii' Seed from two locations D. anglica 'Hawaii' Kanaele Bog miki nalo (mee-kee naah-low) literally "to suck flies" in Hawaiian are only found on the Garden Isle of Kaua'i in the Hawaiian Islands. Seeds are from plants of the Kanaele Bog and Alakai Swamp. Kanaele Bog is...

Drosera rotundifolia seed - three US locations Ok, everybody wanted Drosera rotundifolia at the beginning of the year. Here are some seeds from three locations in the United States. South Fallsburg, NY Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., CA Gasquet, CA Ivan Snyder's "Big Lagoon" Drosera rotundifolia...

Hello friends!, I'm happy to be able to offer you seed of the elegant sundew, D. Venusta...harvested this April. I will either trade the seeds or let you send a type of SASE for them. The packs have ~50+ seeds in them. They don't need stratification and are ready to grow. To sow, just put the...

is it neccesary? and also what is the best way to germinate the seeds?

Thanks again for all the prior advice. My Sarr seedling count is now 7 or 8 (out of ~25) so my yield isn't great, but for a first-time-ever attempt, I'll take it. The seeds were the ones Travis (Pyro) harvested and adnedarn sent out in packets; they're a mix from around 80 or so different Sarr...

___I still have Lots of seed!___ USA only please. I don't have the proper pieces of paper. A pretty good haul! It took five or six flowerstalks to get this much. Fresh seeds mean that (don't quote me) they don't need stratification (what I was told) and that they sprout and grow faster and...

I have some Opuntia (prickly pear) seeds but have no idea if these need stratification or any pre-treatments. I've read that they do need pre-treatment on some sites and that they dont on other sites. So far I've sanded down a few seeds to partly remove the exterior of the seed to allow easier...

hi i got some d. intramedia seeds and i still am a total noob :) could someone tell me the steps anything would be appreciated i need 2 know the stratification, what soil, ect...

so I received quite a batch of different sarr seeds and began the stratification process about 2 weeks ago using a damp paper towel in the fridge method. Just took them out today to observe and noticed these reddish blotches, not located around the seeds but more so on the outer folds. I'm...

EDIT: it appears that these are not nitulda x pulchella as the title says, but placeae ssp. something or other. I have some pygmy sundews (some form of palaceae, maybe roseana) that are opening up gemmae crowns, as you can see: These look pretty nice, as you can judge from the picture, and...

Logic tells me that being from the Carolinas, this ought need cold stratification. Can anyone confirm this?

I started some various sarracenia seedlings, and had pretty good germination using refridgerator stratification. Since they got started late they are still small and winter is looming around the corner. I worry they are to weak to survive the winter still, which brings me to my question. Can...

I'm looking to trade away 3 packets of D. filiformis "Florida All Red". Each packet contains 50 seeds plus or minus 1. Seeds were collected today. This variety of filiformis does not require stratification or a dormancy. The seeds seem to take a little longer than most to germinate. I am...

I have some Darlingtonia seeds that have been in stratification for about 3 weeks (put in 6/8/09) and was wondering if it would be OK to sow them tomorrow, about 5 days short of a full 4 weeks (I'm leaving for pretty much the rest of the summer tomorrow). I don't think it should be too much of a...

A week or so ago 6 of my grandilforas flowered so I pollinated the flowers by basically going along like my toothpick was a small bee and went from one to another. I now have 3 plants with swelling seedpod. I know my other temperate pings (P.macroceras) will drop their seeds and they will...

This year I thought that I'd do an informal experiment with an early-blooming (by about six months) Cephalotus -- divide some seeds, sow others immediately, and stratify the rest for sixty days in the refrigerator (as some authorities advise). I have done both methods with a fair amount of...

i would like to start by saying i found this on www.thegardenhelper.com . this is not my work, it is that of the person who posted this on the site mentionned above. I thought it is EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE and makes defining easy by using plain old english, and not technical terms! Please, ENJOY...

i just looked at my sarr seeds that i have in the fridge and noticed some mold. i was thinking it might be a good idea to wash them off before sowing. i was thinking of using a lite solution with dish soap. i was wondering if anyone else has done this or if it even necessary. thanks darren

Greetings Everyone, The NASC Seed Bank has been operating for about six months or so and has delivered location specific seed to several members. Has anyone had success with stratification and germination? I would love to hear/see of anybody's success. Anyways, I thought I would post this map...
