stratification

Is it 4 weeks or 6 weeks or longer that is needed? I have some that have been in for about 5 weeks and saturday will be 6 weeks. Are they good to go or should I wait for a couple more weeks? I also have some d. californica, s. lucos, and mixed sundews that have been in for about 4 weeks now.

Hi all, I am thinking of growing Sarracenia psittacina (PARROT PITCHER PLANT) from seed for next year. I have a few questions 1. Stratification, what is the best method? Would planting in winter work? 2. When to plant? Would planting just before spring (after Stratification) be ok? Any...

So with a slow day at work, I thought I'd do a random bit of research about Cobra Lilies. I wouldn't mind picking one up to grow alongside my Sarracenias, someday, anyway. While it's not really possible to find one right now for sale (so out of season it's not even funny), I can find plenty of...

Ahh... hehe, well, I've got nothing to trade, But I'm looking mainly for year-round Droseras, and from what I can tell is that they grow aggressively and in great mass, so if anyone has some extras, I'd be willing to pay shipping and whatnot. PM for details. Also looking for those with some...

Well, I'm going to be getting some Sarr hybrid seeds soon(Thank you Ozzy and Pyro). I want to stratify them by putting them in pots with a baggie and soil and stratify. But, I want to hear what people with experience want to say. What has worked for you the best? And should I stratify for about...

I have ordered 12 different sets of seeds arriving this weekend, and ten of them are for sundew species. I would like some info on germinating them - which ones need stratification etc, how to care for them when they germinate. Also, would most of these be ok if I planted a few seeds in my ice...

Hey, does anyone know where I can find neem oil or a sulphur based fungicide? and does anybody know any brand name products they have used with success??? Thanks!

Do the Drosera annuals like D. burmannii, D. indica and D. sessilifolia need to be cold stratified? ??? Tom

I was at the hobby shop today, and I was looking in the science section when I saw a carnivorous creations box. I had thought about buying one, but I decided not too. I couldn’t resist I had to have it! It was actually better than I thought. The only bad advice they gave was to fertilize in...
