Tried again but failed

I need to know how to plant these seeds? Do they need to be dormant? Just sprinkle on top? What do i do. Please give me detailed info. These are the seeds i will planting: D. binata, D. intermedia, D. aliciae, mixed sarracenia and a pack of gammae from the pygme
 
from my experience of sarr seeds:

it takes anywhere up to 4 months (can germinate earlier too) for seeds to germinate. I had seeds taht underwent stratification and also ones that I didn't stratify to germinate. But only 10% of all the seeds I used germinated so I am clearly not a sarr grower.

I have only 2 good looking seedlings. Another one looks like crap somewhere. :p germinated in the shadows of a capensis forest. :p

All but D. aliciae are plants that require a dormancy. Sarracenia seeds need a cold and wet period of few weeks before sowing. All seeds can be sown in moist media, covered, in indirect light - and then ignored for a few weeks.
 
But actually one of these seedlings came from a seed that didn't get stratification.
