Cape Sundew Seeds

I'm pretty sure they gave me wayyyyyy more than 25 seeds but I'm fine with that

haven't planted them yet bc this is my first carnivorous plant and I'm gonna do more research before planting, will update review after they germinate

I’ve bought multiple sets of seeds from Carnivorous plant nursery with varying results. All the drosera seeds I was having issues with. I set them up using multiple methods but kept getting algae and mold, as well as other issues. Ziploc bags or seed trays with domes kept the substrate to humid and moist with little to no air flow and ambient air was too dry.

I finally decided to set them up in my plant cabinet with lights 12” above, near the fan for better air flow, and sitting in clear acrylic trays filled at all times…. And success!!!

I never felt like it was an issue with seeds, I knew I just hadn’t cracked the code for my conditions.

I’ve bought many types of cps seeds over the past year from here and they’re always shipped fast and have extras in the packet.

I love watching them grow and sharing with friends.

I submitted the review below--which expressed doubt that there were any seeds in the packet sent to me-- this morning--and almost instantly got a very kind reply saying the cape sundew seeds are indeed VERY tiny (and I do remember a small cloud of dust as a shook the packet). After this reply I looked at the growing medium and saw tiny plants all over it!!! I don't know if these are sundews or drosera or both--since after not seeing any sundew seeds in the packet I scattered the drosera seeds on the same media. Ir will be an adventure to find out. I am very happy!

bought both cape sundew and drosera seeds. When I opened the packet of sundew seeds to sprinkle them over the medium--I didn't see any discernible seeds. I thought-they must be REALLY tiny. However, the drosera packet definitely had seeds I could see. Its too early for anything to have germinated. If I get plants I will return with a rave review--but at present I suspect that I was shorted.

Loads of tiny little sprouts popping up! Cute as a button, every one! It’s amazing how they are. So tiny and already getting their little droplets. I couldn’t be happier.

It took about 2-3 weeks for the seeds to arrive (SW US). When I opened my packet of seeds, there is AT LEAST x3-4 the amount of seed advertised.

I put the packet in the fridge, while awaiting the arrival of coconut coir. One week later, I potted them up in coir/sphagnum moss on 8th April.
I wetted the growing media with distilled water, put the pot in a tray of disilled water and placed everything into a large ziploc bag, and sealed it. I placed them under my growlights (Barrina T5, 6500k, 20W x6; approx 5-6" away from bulb). I ignored them, and on 25th April, I noticed a heap has sprouted already. They're approx 1mm in size, right now, and I look forward to watching them grow.

Thanks so much for great service and for providing us with quality, viable seed. Thanks to your company, I have the pleasure of keeping these lovely plants again!
