Good to know, appreciate the pictures! I haven’t opened the seeds yet, waiting until I have everything set tomorrow. 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
Yeah, definitely realized that wasn’t going to happen.. Haha. Thanks for the luck!

Congrats! I suspect that the first ones to germinate are the Capes but it'll be fun to watch as the patch gets greener.

Cells outlined in red were sprayed and/or q-tip dabbed with
BioAdvanced Houseplant Insect & Mite Control about two weeks ago. Seem to be doing just fine.

They're looking good! Hoping you have them labeled/mapped good.
Later on when you move them to individual pots you need to stick some labels in with them. I ended up ordering some of these. I print my labels out (trial and error) on regular printer/copy paper and use clear packing tape to completely seal them to the plastic labels. They work pretty well. Of course you could simply write on the labels with a Sharpie, too, but I'm "OCD-Me"!
Here's a link to the ones I ordered off of Amazon...
3/4" by 4" plant labels

Yeah, everything that could possibly get confused has plant tags in them or sharpied on the pots.
