Growing Guide

Step 1: Cold stratify seeds in a moist medium inside a refrigerator for 4–6 weeks before sowing.
Step 2: Surface sow on moist carnivorous plant mix without covering the seeds, as they require light for germination.
Step 3: Maintain constant moisture using only distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water, and provide bright light with cool root temperatures.
Step 4: Avoid fertilizers and mineral-rich water. Grow plants in nutrient-poor media and allow insects to provide natural nutrition.
