Evenwind is definitely not over-exaggerating the smallness of the seeds. I seriously got some seeds from a guy where I thought he had forgot to put the seeds in the envelope...I thought about it a second and grabbed a magnifying glass and SHAZAMMM!!!!!! there they were...incredibly small!!!! Those were burmannii seeds...some orchid seeds (from what I understand) are even smaller than those!!!!

You can certainly ask for another Tier 0 pack and a mixed rosettes or mixed drosera bonus. You can store the packs in the refrigerator until you're ready to try again.Oh I plan on it! I have a problem with collecting and buying more seeds than I can use. And as impatient as I am, I’ve become accustomed to the waiting game. My VFT seedlings have certainly gotten me prepared for long haul growing.

Carefully removed what I could, but it’s obviously going to keep coming back. Any advice on how I should further attack this thing? I have some neem oil and hydrogen peroxide on hand and could always grab something different but weary of adding anything that may do more harm than good. I’d love to kill it dead, but I don’t want to compromise the seed germination.I'd suggest increasing the airflow/decreasing the humidity, i.e. uncover them. I've found it's always a difficult balance between best conditions for germination and too much of a good thing. I grow my seeds in open pots in trays. I probably don't get as much germination but I don't usually get mold, either. If you do decide you need to spray them, consider a cinnamon spray. I know it works on mold, I'm just not sure how it affects germination.

I think I’ll try leaving the dome on and opening the vents for now and see if it improves.Andrew42x89 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:42 pm Just noticed some thin white presumably mold filaments creeping along the surface of media.

There should be roughly 30-50 seeds in the packet though? I’ll probably just split them evenly-ish between 11 cells.Well when you do open them you will see why one per cell would probably be impossible
drosera seeds are tiny as dust. I doubt I've ever been able to count some types with any accuracy. Good luck and good growing
