I bought a SunBlast lamp and my boyfriend installed it in a small cubby hole to make a little greenhouse. I've been keeping the lamp on 12 hours a day. The soil is half perlite half sphagnum moss. The pots are sitting in distilled water. I barely covered the seeds with dirt.

sarracenia Seeds
Well, last season I pollinated my sarracenia oreophila by hand, and got some seeds out of it! Unfortunately I also thought freezing them would preserve them, and actually I think I may have killed them. However, when I put some in water, some floated some sank. I have no idea what that means but I think it might mean some aren't duds!

Really hoping this experiment works out! In other news, My leucophylla is sprouting three new pitchers! I thought they were all going into dormancy.
