Bylis gigantea germination Q's

[obregon562]

Hey guys,

I have a few seeds of B. gigantea and B. lamelleta (sp?), and was wondering what the best way to germinate them would be. I have already smoke treated them, so i guess im asking what kind of soil/pots/light they need to germinate.

Thanks!

They do best in a loose open soil, I use my tuberous/petiolaris mix for all Byblis species. I prefer deep pots for mine to avoid too much moisture which can lead to damp off on seedlings and base rot on more mature plants. I give mine full sun outdoors.
