Hi Malowie

Did you grow any sundews from seeds before??? I recently got some sphatulata seeds and sowed them on peat moss which is black so those powdery seeds just dissapeard after i sow them..So i guess neps seeds are kinda the biggest among all considering drosera seeds are probally only half the size of this full stop.

Yep, sundew seed is small stuff. I would suggest you go with a 50/50 mix of peat/silica sand, or even better pure milled sphagnum moss. If you run the peat through a sieve, even better. Sow the seed by rolling them off a creased paper and sit the pot in tray so it soaks up the water. Don't top water. Put the pot in a ziplock with a label and place in indirect light in evenly warm conditions. Check weekly with a magnifying glass. Soon you'll have more dews than room.
