I used 70% milled peat, 30% horticultural sand dampened with
a solution of Benomyl fungicide. After smoothing the soil,
I sprinkled seeds of the following on the surface of individual
pots:
Byblis liniflora (from my plants)
Drosera aliciae (from my plants)
Drosera burkeana (from Bot. Garden, Romania)
Drosera burmanii (from my plants)
Drosera capensis (from Bot. Garden, Romania)
Drosera intermedia (from my plants)
Drosera montana (from Bot. Garden, Romania)
Pinguicula vulgaris (from Bot. Garden, Geneva)
The 4" pots are now in my greenhouse standing in 1/4" water, with a
plastic hood to maintain high humidity.
I don't have any doubts about the germination of the various Drosera,
but I wonder if I'm doing the right thing for the Ping seed. Should I
have tried to stratify them? Maybe they should do a short stint in the
freezer... I only planted about 1/5 of the Ping seed, so I could still
try something different.
