Seed size and the exact selection may vary between harvests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill every sundew seed germinate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot necessarily - and that's completely normal when growing any plant from seed. Individual seeds can behave differently even within the same fresh batch. We include \u003cstrong\u003eat least 25 fresh seeds to give you multiple opportunities for successful germination\u003c\/strong\u003e, rather than expecting every seed to become a plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt Cultivo, we carefully harvest and store our sundew seeds and \u003cstrong\u003egermination-test suitable seed batches before using them in our Grow Your Own kits\u003c\/strong\u003e. Fresh, viable seed is an important part of successful germination, but the conditions provided after sowing also play an important role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich sundews will I receive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeeds are selected from the tropical and subtropical rosette-forming sundews producing suitable fresh seed in our cultivated collection at the time of preparing each batch. The selection changes, so no particular species, form, colour or growth habit is guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the fun is discovering how your individual seedlings develop as they mature, and the number of different forms that ultimately germinate and grow can vary from kit to kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the seeds fresh and germination tested?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes. We harvest and keep our seed batches labelled at Cultivo and germination-test suitable seed batches in-house. Only suitable fresh seed is selected for our Grow Your Own kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo these sundew seeds need cold stratification?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The seeds selected for the Rosetted Collection \u003cstrong\u003edon't require cold stratification\u003c\/strong\u003e.

We include purified, low-mineral water so you have suitable water on hand when you sow your seeds and can get started straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is special about the included germination soil?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe included germination mix is prepared specifically for carnivorous plant seed, with the low nutrient levels, moisture retention and aeration needed for successful seed starting. It's pre-measured and ready to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I grow these sundews indoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, provided they receive \u003cstrong\u003every bright light\u003c\/strong\u003e. A suitable grow light or a bright sunny position can work well. Strong, consistent light helps support germination and healthy early seedling growth. Keep the growing medium consistently moist using suitable low-mineral water and follow the growing instructions included with your kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eExplore More Grow Your Own Carnivorous Plants\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur available seed collections change according to \u003cstrong\u003efresh seed availability from our cultivated carnivorous plant collection\u003c\/strong\u003e.
