    mine are almost done propagating in their dish. they're nearly a full cm tall, and i was wondering if and when to transfer them over to their newer, more permanent home?

    Nice healthy looking seedlings. You might want to consider leaving them where they are for this season. No sense transplanting them into new pots and risking shock. You can always separate them out next year. Were you aware that you can forgo their dormancy for the first year quite safely? There are those who believe dormancy can be bypassed for the second year too. Also, next spring when you are ready to bring them outside, you might want to consider using a little bit of Miracid. I have found that 1/2 tsp per quart every three weeks works wonders. Just be sure to stop adding Miracid before the first of August.

    Where would I get seeds of Sarracenias in Canada? I've always wanted to grow these as they're so beautitul. I live in Toronto, Ontario.

    i get mine from ebay-there are many varieties from this seller: 'rare exotic seeds'

    Oh E Bay, i wouldn't think of that site as for plants, but u're right, sounds like a great idea. I'll check it out. Is there a particular supplier u recommend?

    this guy has a wide selection of seeds with germination guides: http://stores.ebay.com/Rarexoticseeds
    Ebay is great for finding seeds

    jonjon, we bought some sarracenia seeds as a novelty item (turned treasure) and they're just sprouting now.

    we got them at an educational store underneath the manulife centre at bay and bloor. its the store beside carlton cards, and generally under the gap.

    hope this was some help.

    The problem with eBay is that you may not know for years if you received the seed you ordered. The other issue is viability due to age and how the seeds were stored. Might be best to order from a nursery that has been around for a while that enjoys a good professional reputation and he's in Canada and has a very nice selection-

    There's a seller from the UK who harvests seeds from his own plants and he is quite careful making sure they don't cross pollinate with other species. He goes by the name of paulg413 and he ships worldwide although he does not have the selection that seller rareseedsource or Rarexoticseeds has. I have never ordered from Rarexoticseeds before. I wouldn't mind trying that seller out.
