Wait till the seeds are showing a bit and are dark and shiny looking. If you wait too long they can fall out.

If by now they still aren't ripe leave them in they will fall out when they are ripe enough

When i was wondering if my vft seeds should be given a cold/wet stratification in the fridge (that's what i did last time), i ended up searching on the web and came across this same site. So, the seeds were sown without a dormancy and should be sprouting next week sometime with any luck. dvg |

I sowed three pots of VFT seeds on August 12 and noticed on the 25th that a substanial proportion of the seeds were starting to germinate. Here's a shot from last night of one of the pots...  ...so now i'm sold on the idea of sowing VFT seeds without first giving them a cold stratification period in the fridge. dvg |

I agree DVG, if the seeds are fresh, they germinate super quickly, and with a high success rate! I think they are as easy to germinate as many Drosera are!
