Miguel,
Regarding U. Monanthos
Following advice from the list and specifically Phil Wilson (thanks!!), I
sowed the seed in a peat/sand mixture and kept the water level with the
surface of the soil.
I sowed the seed in Feb and left the pot in my cold greenhouse. The pot has
recently started to show signs of (Utric) life, since the weather has started
to warm up.
Dros Spathulata should be fairly easy to grow from seed. In my own greenhouse
it tends to spring up like a weed.
Even though I keep D.binata and U dichotoma, I've never grown them from seed,
so can't really comment (sorry).
