Venus Flytrap Seed Sowing: Peat/Sand Mix, Boiling Water Sterilization, and Fresh Seed

A grower asks best medium (sphagnum peat/perlite vs. orchid peat/perlite) and method for flytrap seeds. Expert prefers peat moss and sand. Treat soil surface with boiling water to kill algae/moss/fungal spores, cool, then sow. Seeds have very short viability: ~1 month room temp, ~3 months refrigerated. Sow immediately on surface; spray sulfur fungicide preventatively. Germinate quickly.
