Venus Flytrap Seeds: No Stratification, No Fridge Needed – Sow Fresh

VFT seeds **do not require stratification** (cold/damp treatment). They germinate **within 2 weeks** when fresh.

Sowing Method

• Surface-sow on **pre-moistened 50/50 peat/perlite**.
• Don't bury – light dusting of powdered sphagnum optional.
• Keep constantly moist (mist daily).
• 75-85°F, bright light.
• No humidity dome needed unless ambient RH <50%.

Storage

• Refrigerate extras in sealed container – viable **~1 year max**.
• Viability drops sharply after year one.

Pro Method

Sprinkle ripe seeds around mother plants – they naturalize effortlessly.

Ignore kit instructions that say otherwise.
