Due to my growing conditions I have always stayed with temperate species, but after getting my D. graomogolensis I have been bitten buy the bug so to speak. So I made a seed order which included the following tropical sundews:
D. aliciae
D. admirabilis
D. venusta
D. sessilifolia
D. auyan tepui
(and a 200 seed "grab bag" of 20-50 species/forms, I'm not too concerned about these at the moment, they are a mix of temperate and tropical... so I figure they will be a catch 22 on germination)
I have read that my choices will require hot stratification, hence my question
What are some possible methods used when dealing with a constant 68f home temp (currently all my stuff is set up in an unheated basement)
I will probably get a small 2 bulb T5 fixture and use it above a 10 gallon aquarium once the seeds have sprouted, keeping a few of each and trading off the rest
any and all advice will be greatly appreciated,
TIA,
Av
