    Drosera Intermedia germinated in fridge?

    I just had a quick question. I put some drosera intermedia seeds in the fridge to stratify, but they sprouted in the fridge before taking them out. Should I take them out now, or would that in any way shock them? Just wondering if I should leave them in the fridge until they're a little bigger...

    S.leucophylla seeds start germinating!

    YES, so after two weeks time, my S.leucophylla seeds finally start germinating!! so far the germinating rate is about 20%, I guess that's not bad since these seeds didnt go through stratification. I have another pot of seeds that I put in the fridge for about 10 days, and it's been about a week...
