Sarracenia Seed Stratification in Plastic Bags: Simple Fridge Method

Stratifying Sarracenia seeds in their original packets with distilled water works well.

Method

  1. Add a small amount of distilled water to the seed packet (sterile, no nutrients for mold).
  2. Seal and place in refrigerator (not freezer).
  3. Check weekly for mold.
  4. Optional: Add a pinch of sulfur fungicide to water.

Why It Works

Mimics natural conditions where seeds fall into cold, wet pockets. Distilled water minimizes fungal food sources compared to soil stratification.

Good Growing!
