The instructions that came with the Carnivorous Creations kit said the pitcher plants
seeds in seeds packet 2 require stratification for 6 weeks. I gave them a teaspoon of purified
water as directed and put them in the refrigerator six weeks ago. They are now ready for planting.
The following are included in seeds packet 2:
Sarracenia alata – Pale Pitcher Plant seeds
Sarracenia flava – Yellow Trumpet Pitcher Plant seeds
Sarracenia leucopphylla – White Topped Pitcher Plant seeds
Sarracenia minor – Hooded Pitcher Plant seeds
Sarracenia psittacina – Parrot Pitcher Plant seeds
Sarracenia purpurea-venosa – Purple Pitcher Plant seeds
Sarracenia rubra-wherryi – Sweet Pitcher Plant seeds
Once again I am not planting them in the mini greenhouse that came with the kit.
I am putting them in with Sarah The Sundew and Vanessa The Venus Flytrap.
I figure there is still plenty of room in my homemade 20 inch terrarium.
You might notice I have scrapped away the red moss and green moss that was
growing on the surface with an old spoon.
I am now going to spoon in the pitcher plants seed mix
little by little all around the outside.
I’ve got them watered now with purified water with superthrive and hydrogen peroxide
but no fertilizer.
Here is the whole thing is with the thermometer and humidity gauge inside and
the clear plastic sheet on top. I have a pair of 65 watt clf on them.
I have decided to leave it turned around this way so I can get a better view of
Vanessa The Venus Flytrap. I am not sure how long it will take for the carnivorous
pitcher plants to germinate and sprout.
