Sara, I would suggest keeping the moss moist at all times, the seedlings of
Darlingtonia that I have grown in the past seem to like that. I sowed some
seed in '95 and now they are getting large enough to transplant. I hope they
will make it as they are from some known sources.
I am wondering where you got your seed. Was it from some plants that you
have? The reason I am asking is that all of my Darlingtonia plants have come
from 1 plant I bought about 15 years ago and I'd like to obtain plants from a
known location if possible.
