Darlingtonia Died from Drying Out; Flytrap Seeds Don't Need Stratification

Darlingtonia Loss

New growth wilting = plant is gone. Few days of dry soil kills them—roots are extremely sensitive. We lost a whole pool to media breakdown (perlite vs pumice).

Flytrap Seeds

Harvest when pods turn black and open. No stratification needed—sow immediately. Gibberellic acid unnecessary. Flytrap seeds mature early (summer) unlike other temperate CPs.
