A year to germinate is a little bit .... looooong . Did you try using GA3 to accelerate germination ?My experience with Drosera paradoxa "Type" seeds is it took them almost exactly a year to germinate on their own sown on wet peat at 23 degrees C.
Drosera paradoxa
Temperature - 23-30 degrees C Soil - silica sand 50% peat 50% Growing space - 8 inch deep pot Lighting - 14 hours Watering - consistently just moist Humidity - 40-60% Propagation - easiest by seed. ‘Type form’ will self Special requirements - none Drosera paradoxa ‘Type form’ finally...www.carnivorousplantsociety.ca
Thank you. Will try both ways and let see...No special treatment whatsoever.
Agreed a year is a long time wait, I had given up on them.
I believe the part of the issue was my temperature, I had the seeds at 23 degrees with my other sundews. I believe the petiolaris complex likes temperatures in the high 30’s. Mine have been continuously blooming now for a while so I will be trying to start more seeds soon. I won’t be using GA3 but I will try a humid 35 degrees consistent temperature this time.
I sow seeds of petiolaris thing... don't remember name, from oct ... Just throw away Though that I got the seeds from non reliable seller...If you have a stable pot/plant, throw difficult seeds in and forget about them.
Wow, a year! I have some I’ve been waiting on for two months. Good to know it may just take patience. Thanks for sharing that!My experience with Drosera paradoxa "Type" seeds is it took them almost exactly a year to germinate on their own sown on wet peat at 23 degrees C.

Can you explain what you do by '' top it off '' ?That's mine, it just gets taller and taller. Eventually I'll top it off and bury the adventitious roots.
