If you are still offering, I just received a bunch of sarrancia and various sundew seeds from Chef and Pacman and would love to experiment with some of this. Thank you!

I wouldn't recommend using GA3 with Sarracenia or most sundew seeds, but if any of your seeds are Petiolaris-complex Drosera then I'd be happy to send you some

Just requested some Byblis seeds from the seed bank and I’m sooo tempted by the petiolaris drosera seeds but a bit intimidated by them. Other than the GA3 to assist germination are there other tricks or requirements? I’m assuming that they need warm temps- I’ve got a small tank for the adult woolies that is 85 during the day but down to 65-70 at night. Would that work or do they need 24/7 heat?

They're not too hard! I've got some germination with those exact temps after improperly GA3 treating (I was using Urantia Carnivores' GA3 paper with their seeds and misread the instructions and didn't let it dissolve long enough). I do think a proper GA3 treatment or smoke treatment will get you better and consistent germination, and I seemed to get slightly better germination in the summer when even nighttime temps were higher.

May I ask where the seed bank is and how you request seeds?

If you click on the three bars at the top right corner, you should see an option that says seed bank (or if you're on a computer, it should be in the middle of the bar at the top of the screen)
