    Older seeds from 2020 July is moved to another listing with cheaper price.
    Older seeds are still vital, but with lower germination rate comparing to fresh seeds. If you care mostly per seedling dollar price, older seeds is still a better choice due to it is cheaper. But if you care germination speed, germination rate and seedling health condition, this year's fresh seeds will give you the best results. So choose wisely.

    Mother plants are typicals, fathers are named cultivars. I hand-pollinated most of them(Bees helped a bit too, I grow out door).
    Growing VFTs from seeds is a very challenging task, it is not easy but full of surprise and fun.
    Here are some key points to help you get started.
    1) Freshness is the key, aged seeds' germination rate drops rapidly
    2) Pure water only, distilled water, RO filtered water or rain water. (PPM needs to be below 50, if you have a PPM meter)
    3) Nutrition free medium only. Prefer to use New Zealand Sphagnum Moss or Peat moss based mix for other carnivorous plants
    4) High humidity and some air flow. (For example covering the pots with clear plastic food wraps and punch a bunch of holes on them)
    5) A lot of light. For seedlings, it is better to use grow light rather than sunlight in order to reduce the heat. With the food wraps under sun, they can be cooked quickly, do the best to avoid the high heat
    6) Warm, but not too hot. 80~100F is a good range. Going over 100F is dangerous, blow 80F won't kill them, but will slow down the germination.
    7) Germination takes 2~8 weeks in average, depends on your growing conditions.
    8) Slowly take off the wraps after 3~4 traps open up.
    9) Slowly introduce to full sun after taking off the wraps
    10) A lot of patience, they grow slow
    11) VFTs from seeds are typicals, no matter they look stunning or boring. The fun of growing from seeds is, you don't know how exactly they will look like. And you might get some special ones that you want to name them to become new cultivars.

    Happy Growing!
