New to this forum (but not to CP's).
I'm looking for some opinions: I bought some VFT seeds off eBay in July and realized it was a bit late in the season to start growing them and figured I'll start in Spring 2008.
However, just out of a lark, I decided to sacrifice a few of the VFT seeds and sowed them to some live moss even without the cold stratification step. I didn't have a lot of hope as I was unsuccessful at growing VFT from seeds when I tried it years ago.
Lo and behold, a month later I noticed something other than moss sprouting. Now, I can positively identify it as tiny 2mm length VFT seedlings -- little traps and all! (Sidenote: I give a lot of credit to the quality of VFT seeds acquired from Whatcom Seed Company from whom I purchased off eBay).
But what next?
Should I let them adjust to the seasons/climate and go into hibernation naturally? Or should I continue to grow them under artificial light into Fall/Winter 2007 due to the potential fragility of the young seedlings?
They will be kept indoors throughout the year.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
