So the seeds come from Willy's shop (I'm glad to know that 👍) and I sowed them on July 11. They were sowed in pure LFS. Let's now see what happens next 🙂

Here's a picture of my pot after two weeks on the windowsill. It's still small but if you enlarge the picture you can find one seedling. I'm pretty excited right now!! 😁

Quick update on my D. Capensis seeds. So far I see two of them. The bigger one has red petioles!!! So happy 😁

Just an update on my D. Capensis, I now see a third seedling (sorry Willy for not having a better success rate...) and one of them actually caught something!!!!! 👏😍😍😄😄

Just by looking at that picture I found a fourth one. I took a pair of snips and forceps and just move the one that was over the youngest seedling. This way they won't tangle up 😊

I'll send you more seeds. A friend just found a way to improve germination rate for drosera, it is by spraying H2O2 onto the sowed seeds 3 times, it will keep the fungus at bay!

Thanks Willy!! Wow, your generosity is impressive!! In French, we say that your heart is on your hand! I won't be sowing Drosera on LFS anymore. I think some seeds fell down to the bottom of the pot and you can't do anything about it...

Usually I sow on a layer of washed peat, it works great for me For LFS, perhaps it is better for other seeds like nepenthes
