These are fresh seeds harvested within the last two growing seasons
The seeds we sell are either imported from trusted sellers (including reputable nurseries and private growers) or are harvested from our own plants
We do not sell carnivorous plants or seed, collected from the wild
With so many imitations online, all of our seeds are genuine carnivorous plant seeds - We guarantee it
Starting and nurturing your very own carnivorous plant jungle can be extremely 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 requires a lot of patience
Under optimal conditions, carnivorous plant seed usually germinates within 4-8 weeks; However, some are seasonal and others may require hot- or cold stratification prior to germination
In all cases, most carnivorous plants will take a couple of years to reach maturity
As this process is mostly a waiting game, it is ideally recommended for the adventure carnivorous plant enthusiast
Sowing Guide
Our instructional reference guide includes complete sowing instructions for both temperate- and non-temperate carnivorous plants (a link to this reference will be available on completion of your order)
Byblis liniflora is an annual plant and stratification methods such as the use of GA3 or smoke treatment may be beneficial in increasing chances for Byblis seed germination
For this reason (while Byblis Liniflora seems to be the easiest in the family to germinate) growing Byblis from seed is, in general, not an easy process for the beginner carnivorous plant grower
There are hundreds of carnivorous plant species, cultivars and varieties around the globe. The internet has some great resources and we highly recommend doing some research on the growing conditions required for each species. Studying this information, prior to your purchase, would be in your favour
Conditions differ and as with any other plant you will ever grow from seed a range of factors may affect germination. Naturally, we can never absolutely 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
