Can unstratified VFT seeds still be stratified?
I may have sown unstratified VFT seeds in a pot
can I put this pot in a cool place for a few weeks and get them stratified like this?
what are the steps to doing this if its possible?

Flytraps don't require strat. You'll be just fine.

You'll want to keep those seeds very warm, as close to 30C as possible.

I got VFT seedlings growing and one has already grew leaves longer than the others
does that mean I Ihave a large trap cultivar on the wat?
my card reader broke so I cannot attach a pic.

Venus' Fly Trap seeds don't need to be cold stratified. Stratification is the process of keeping seeds cold and damp for several weeks or months, and for Fall-blooming plants stratification can simulate a winter for the seeds, which are used to germinating the following Spring. But Venus Flytraps bloom in the Spring, not the Fall, and their seeds do not need to be stratified. Instead Venus Flytrap seeds are accustomed to germinate within days (usually 13-25 days) after they fall to the ground during the summer, the rate and speed of germination increasing with warm temperatures. Therefore, Venus Flytrap seeds should not be stratifed, although if they are not sowed immediately they can be stored in the refrigerator to help them remain fresh longer and increase germination when sowed at a later date.
