Growing Darlingtonia from seeds

Sounds like you are doing everything right to me. Try getting the most fresh seeds you can.
Keep trying dont give up.

If you are still unsuccessful by springtime, send me a PM, I can send you a few seedlings. I had great results from one seed batch, and next to no germination from a different seed batch. Freshness? I dunno...

Anything different from your experiences to my method of sowing ? I still have seeds to try... Thank in advance
 
Not that I can tell, no.

I fridge stratified for 4-6 weeks in papertowel, then put them ontop of a peat/silica substrate in 20-30degree domed 1020 tray and waited
 
I kept two seedlings indoors all season and they have put out runners with more babies.

Starting the cold stratification period this week in the fridge for 3 weeks before sowing them in clear plastic lidded containers under grow lights. I'm guessing windowsill sunlight would be too harsh for darlingtonia?

Guess it depends how intense the sun is and if they're under a dome. You dont want to roast them.

They'd be under a dome (Ottawa winters are too dry, even with a humidifier). Unrelated question: Were they very sensitive to being repotted/separated? I'll be starting them in plastic boxes and (if I'm successful) then planting them out in pots when they're a bit bigger.

Easier to germinate under dome! humidity stable and can adjust with vent during the germinations stages

No not sensitive at all. They're strong plants, woody almost. Very easy to separate.
