Can Drosera spatulata Seeds Germinate in Water? Short-Term Only

Water Germination Limitations

Seeds can sprout in pure water, but seedlings cannot sustain growth without a solid substrate for root anchorage and nutrient uptake. Transfer to peat/perlite within days of germination.

Better Approach

Sow directly on moist 50/50 peat/perlite. Maintain high humidity and bright light. Germination in 2-4 weeks.
