Okay thanks they are oldish seeds, they are under a warm grow light it provides a tiny bit of heat enough to keep them warm. I will PM you if the seeds don't work. What nighttime low can they handle? it get somewhat cool at night in the house so I may need to get a heated aqurium when they germinate.

When I read your post I felt as if I was reading some sort of poem that doesn't rhyme and it's as if it's like one continuous stanza.
I'd get a heater if it gets unreasonably cold. Have you considered growing them outside?

Patience is its own reward. I sowed some B. liniflora seeds in January in my unheated greenhouse. They are now just germinating. Sometimes seeds germinate on their own schedule.

If you are talking about Sundews, this is not true. They are really quite adaptable and can be grown year 'round. For example, D. gigantea will go dormant for about six months, but you just let the soil dry out a little, not even completely dry and in six months the plant will start growing again. Other species will keep setting new branches as long as there is food for them to catch/eat without even going dormant... If you want to make them go dormant, slowly dry the soil over a six week period so they have time to set their corms/tubers. Some species have a strict schedule, many do not. I do not know all about them, but have been growing a couple of species for a few years, they are much easier than they are given credit for. Hawaii it never drops below 60 F,the problem is I can't grow tuberous here.
