Germination of
Drosera Sp.
Bonsai Sundew, Dewy Pine, Drosophyllum lusitanicum.
Drosera Sp.: Drosera, commonly known as sundews, are carnivorous plants that are easy to grow from seed. To start, fill a small pot or seed tray with a 50/50 mix of peat moss and perlite. Sprinkle the seeds on top of the soil and cover with a thin layer of sand or vermiculite. Water gently and place the pot or tray in a bright, sunny location. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. The seeds should germinate in 1-2 weeks, after which you can transplant them into individual pots or a larger container.
Some of plants may have very have specific germination requirements that may not be covered in these general instructions.
Many seeds require pre-treatment before sowing which we try to list here when we can, but this information may not be present here. Germination times and germination temperatures are to be a guide only. Many factors can DRASTICALLY affect this.
It's always a good idea to research the specific germination requirements from multiple sources for each plant before attempting to grow them from seed.
