I have had no luck with the Drosera intermedia/rotundifolia. Stratified.
No luck yet with Capensis wide leaf.

How long did you stratify? Those seeds were fairly old.

The older the seed the longer it needs to stratify. If it is over a year or if I am not sure of the age of the seeds, I give it 8 to 10 weeks.

I received some intermedia seeds recently from the seed bank. How old do you think they are? Would 2 months of stratification be a good amount of time?

Idk, some seeds in the seed bank are pretty old. I think two months would be enough. Did the packet have a harvest date? If they are REALLY fresh, they don't actually need stratification.

Well, intermedia/rotundifolia going back into the fridge. I honestly don't care if the germinate, since I already got some germination on MaxVft's intermedia seeds.
