⚠️ Special Growing Requirements

• Soil: Nutrient-free mix (1:1 peat moss & perlite)

• Water: Only distilled, rainwater, or reverse osmosis (tap water is deadly)

• Light: 4-6+ hours of direct sunlight daily (south-facing window or grow lights)

• Dormancy: Mandatory 3-4 month winter chill (~40°F / 4°C)

🌱 Step-by-Step Germination Guide

1. Cold Stratification (4-6 weeks):

   • Place seeds in a damp paper towel inside a sealed bag

   • Refrigerate (not freeze!) to simulate winter

2. Planting:

   • Surface-sow on pre-moistened carnivorous plant soil

   • Do not bury – seeds need light to germinate

3. Environment:

   • Cover with a humidity dome or plastic wrap

   • Keep at 70-85°F (21-29°C) under bright light

4. Patience:

   • Germination takes 2-8 weeks (some may take months)

🐜 Care Tips for Success:

• Never fertilize – gets nutrients from insects

• Avoid triggering traps manually – wastes energy

• Let it catch its own prey – no need to feed if kept outdoors
