I now have some drosera intermedia seeds I received today in the mail that sdeering was kind enough to provide! Now, I'll be picking up a flat and some peat moss tomorrow that I'll mix with my silica. I'm looking for advice on how to get them going. I could: Put them out in the sun, they would get some frosty nights in April and warm daytime sun; Put them out in the shade, frosty nights, cool days, no sun Pop them in the fridge, 4 degrees no light Freezer, minus 16 and no light Any ideas?

Brian that all depends on what kind of intermedia you have. If it is the tropical kind i would definally not do that.

pop them outside. I'm sure jay can give you the final word, but you could always put them in some bright shade. Sib

I'm pretty sure they are temperate not tropical. Tapped the seeds out on a white plate and got them planted today. They're soo tiny, they look like little bits of pepper!

I'd plant them in your desired media, soak everything thoroughly and put them outside where they would get direct sun when they start growing. If the area is protected from wind, that might be a good thing too. The cold temps during the spring nights might aid in stratification and make them germinate better.

I'm quite sure they are temperate not positive but they do go dormant in the winter (in doors). Stephen
