My guess is that your practice of "spraying to keep surface damp"
resulted in an attack of damping-off fungus. I have successfully
germinated and grown VFT from seed for years, however I keep them a bit
drier during winter while they are dormant and resume watering after
they put out new leaves in the spring.
