Drosera hilaris (Somerset West, RSA) Seeds

• At Cultivo, every release is carefully selected and grown with purpose. We don’t mass restock - most plants are small-batch, seasonal or one-of-a-kind “exact plant pictured” pieces. Once they’re sold, they’re truly gone. That’s why you won’t see a typical “email me when available” option on these listings
• Some seasonal items or small-batch variants may return in the future. If that happens, we’ll update the original listing with new photos and details
• 🔔 For updates on new and rare arrivals, keep an eye on our New Arrivals Collection or join our VIP list above.

Description

• Drosera Hilaris loc Somerset West, RSA - 10 Seeds

Our Seeds

• These are fresh seeds harvested within the last two seasons, and either imported from trusted private growers and nurseries or harvested from our own plants
• With so many imitations online, all our seeds are genuine carnivorous plant seeds - We guarantee it
• Starting and nurturing your very own carnivorous plant jungle can be very rewarding and most of the seed available on the store have been tested on germination in our own seedling chamber
• Growing carnivorous plants from seed takes a lot of patience, most seeds require light and humidity and some are seasonal growers
• As this process is mostly a waiting game, it is recommended for the adventure carnivorous plant enthusiast 

Sowing Guide

• Our recommended sowing instructions are available in the FAQ section, however doing some research on required growing conditions, before making your purchase, would be in your favour
• In our experience, winter growing drosera seed is not for the faint of heart, and might take months to germinate so be ready with a bucket full of patience
• The use of GA3 or smoke treatment may increase chances for germination
• After smoke treatment sow like any other drosera seeds and keep them at around 25 degrees Celcius for 4 to 6 weeks
• Thereafter, water the seeds and then let them dry out completely
• Repeat the watering and drying out cycles for 4 to 6 weeks while they are stratifying - these wet and dry cycles might improve germination
• By following these guidelines, germination should occur in approximately 2 to 4 months after sowing
• Instructions on using a smoke primer disc for winter-growing sundews can be found here 

• Due to a range of factors we can not guarantee germination, but we can guarantee one of the most important factors with regards to germination rate:  FRESH SEEDS

• When available the harvest date will be recorded on the seed packet
