I have acquired several different types of Drosera seed, mostly through the kind offerings of others on the list, but am wondering which types if any require stratification and for how long. I planted some seed of D. binata and it is really taking off. By the way how big should they get before transplanting? Thanks!

If the seed was from me, then it can be immediately planted.
Thoughts differ on the best time to transplant. Most Drosera are natural clumpers, so there is never any real rush, although they tend to grow with more character when they have the space. I sow my seed very carefully to allow the plants to grow for many months before transplanting. If the plants are thick together as seedlings, they may be lifted out after they have 3 or 4 true leaves, a fairly simple and straightforward process.
