Byblis liniflora seeds seem to like warmth and, sometimes, a lot of time
to germinate. I've had some germinate many months after the first few
came up. The time of year probably makes a big difference.
Stratification may help for more uniformity, but I hadn't tried it until
now (just sowed some seeds last week).

Other peat/sand/perlite mixes would probably be fine. My mini-bog, with
approx. 4/1/1 ratio as above, has a seedling in it that was doing quite
well until the weather got cooler.

Best of luck,

Gary
