i got a whole bunch of drosera seeds from vft_guy_in_SJ today in the mail (thanx again!), two varieties of D. capensis and some D. capillaris. i also managed to get a mix of peat, sand and a bit of vermiculite from the campus greenhouse (maybe not ideal, but FREE). they also set me up with some dried sphagnum which i wet down and placed in the tops of the pots as per various directions i found on ICPS's website. all three *clearly labelled* pots are inside two plastic bags with a little distilled water on the bottom (bag 1 leaked so i put a plastic shopping bag over the whole business until they germinate), and that whole mess is up on the top shelf of my desk getting semi-direct light from the VFT lamp, shaded slightly by my african violet. is this an OK setup? i know the D. capillaris will probably take quite some time to germinate but how about the D. capensis?
also, did i set this up right at all?
thanx!!!
EDIT: also i sprinkled the very, very, very tiny seeds right on top of the sphagnum, partly because that's what i read and partly because i think it would be impossible to do otherwise given their size. is this OK?
